The headers came with exhaust manifold bolts, exhaust manifold gaskets, collector gaskets, and collector bolts and nuts. I would recommend getting a set of GM exhaust manifold gaskets as the one that came with were garbage. Basic hand tools are all that is necessary but a torch is handy for rusty bolts. Also you may need a welder if one or more of the exhaust manifold bolts are broken off.
@@kptautomotive1802 what about any o2 sensors cause I have a solo exhaust but I’m trying to make sure I have everything covered when it comes to installing the headers
@@bobbysmith9082 The headers have a O2 sensor bung in each collector. You will install the pre cat O2 sensors in these bungs. You will also need a O2 extension harness for the drivers side. Many companies sell them. The passenger side had enough wire on it. The headers should bolt right to the factory exhaust. I assume your exhaust merges into one mid way back on the car?
Yes the headers did delete the cat on each bank. One per side, 2 total. You will need to tune out both rear O2 sensors and associated codes in order to eliminate check engine lights.
So what all you needed besides the headers for the installation

Need headers and a tune were you located..

Did the headers delete a set of cats? Is there more than one set?

Owner sold them and more than paid for the headers!😁
