You will need new header gaskets (if you choose), clamps unless you plan on welding, and a reducer pipe to go from 3" to 2.5".
I will PM you the ordering and contact info.

LightFighter how did you order your kit? Did they send you a conformation # an tracking #? Just a little nervous about placing a order with a company I can't call and talk to. Also where are you guys getting your 02 extenders?

Mine arrived today -
Avg sized box.
Haven't had time to open it and check em out -
Gotta clean up after work (and VetteCommittee meeting and dinner) - then I'll crack the box open and snap some pics for yall.
it took a day or two after I ordered before I got a Tracking Number (FEDEX).. but i was the first one to order - so I think I was the initial confusion in the shipping / sales dept that Tim mentioned a few posts back.

O2 Options
Most are deleting the rear O2s. I believe you can re-route the front O2s to make it to the new Header location and the rears should fit as they are… Not 100% sure.
Anyone out there know for sure?

I used short 12" O2 extensions on the original style header install, because I wasn't sure about the location. With the new relocated bungs, you may not need them, but you can always send them back if you don't. The rears are definitely OK as they are.

RIP
I ordered on monday with Paypal and I got a confirm email, then a Shipped email later that day with a tracking number
I might order another set and put them on my TBSS, or make myself a turbo kit from their site for the TBSS...they got turbo LSx headers to

I’m actually on the fence about the rear O2s, I better get off cause I’m installing this Saturday! I’d have to add bungs to my Cats. NO biggy after drilling for the AIR tubes.
Speaking of bungs, the Header’s O2 bung is now very close to the end of the Header, making for minimal contact area for the Cats. I’m thinking of slotting my band clamps for the bungs so they can slide further up the header. I’m just not sure if that would destroy the clamps integrity or not… IF I can find clamps locally, I’ll try one and post the results.
I’m going to throw this out there to the Forum… I’m working with them on developing a few more products, same quality and pricing (LOW);
I need help with one of the products. Does anyone have a used Corsa Indy Pace with Pro Tips????
Email me if you would SERIOUSLY buy a Twin Turbo System if the price were right. Keep in mind that the tune would be your responsibility ect…, pretty much the same customer support we’re getting now with the Headers…

Dave asked a good question on AIM.
Can the useless coupler (headers to cats) be cut and re welded to the proper width?
with the Xpipe being staggered, is this even worth trying?
