Default header install-gaskets and o2 extensions

I will be putting dynatech headers on my 2000 soon...well, as soon as the weather gets better in Texas
I will be removing the air tubes and emissions stuff-if that matters.

I was planning on getting the GM gaskets but it seems maybe I should be oprdering the 'older style round gasket' rather than the oval gasket. I could only find a few threads on this and it seems the info was from 07ish. let me know which ones to pick

also, what length of o2 extensions should I get? I think 12" are the correct choice but want be sure.

thanks
Rob

I used 12" extensions on both the Dynamax systems I installed.
