You made a great purchase!
May throw codes, may not, if it does, you can get them fixed by a good tuner, or buy 02 sims instead of plugging in the rear sensors. With the high flow cats there will be a less chance of codes.
Are you installing them yourself? If so, have fun and keep some beer and band aids handy

Hahaha... you bastard (jk)!!! That was me (among others I'm sure) bidding until the bell rang. Congrats on beating me.. it didn't take my last bid because of the time. I must have hit refresh page 50 times in the last 5 minutes.

Kooks are great. We have all header types at the shop (Synergymotorsports.net), including all the f-body kits and are own custom stuff.
Your stock titanium muffler unit is an outstanding piece of engineering. The only other production car to date to have such a titanium unit is the McClaren F1.
You might throw some lean left or right bank codes, press and hold down, "option," and then, "fuel," four times. Scroll through. There are many threads on this.
I would highly reccomend a good tune.
Your stock 02 sensors are fine. I would replace the front O2's and your stock wires about every two years. Spend the money, you will thank me later.
