hey i just bought some hooker lts and a hooker y-pipe for my 96 WS6, and i need to know what else i will need to get before i can install it all. i also plan to keep my borla catback on the car. i know i will need some O2 extentions and some header gaskets but other than that i am in the dark. also i still have the AIR and EGR sensors and parts in place and i know i will need something to block off the connections but i dont know what. any help with this problem would be great.
Thanks
Shane

 

you can get a block off kit do a search on lt1 on ebay that is where i got my block offs at as far as gaskets bolts should have came with the kit also have fun on the passenger side oh ya u will need some o2 safe silicone for the tube that slips in and out that should do it

 

are you talking about the header tube that slips in and out on the drivers side? because i bought these headers used and i was wondering why the first tube on the drivers side had been cut off, i dont know if its supposed to be that way or not. i just dont know.

 

yes it is suposed to be that way it realy helps out in the install if you will jut get header in minus the front tube just start the bolts hand tight then with that tube put a little silicone on it and push it in place then tightin it down do you have header bolts and header gaskets the manifold gaskets wont work with those headers if you do not i have a set of copper ones that i removed from mine and a extra set of bolts if you need also if you like send me yor email and i will try send you the install instuctions that came with mine or if you have accses to a fax i might can do that or i can mail you mine as i dont need them any more

 

i still just dont see how some silicon can seal the tube and prevent an exhaust leak, also what about the other part of the header that is cut, the part where it meets the engine and is usually connected with the other three tubes, do you have to weld that together?

 

no man i said the some thing but it realy does sill and no that is how it is suposed to be also trust me you will be totaly hapy when you get them on there and go for a drive i went from shortys to those headers and wow total defearnce just get them on and let us know
