Default TPIS headers going in- looking for advice

Have the exhaust off & headers are ready to go in. Any tips to avoid problems or make the install easier? Use stock gaskets or aftermarket? Starter wiring? O2 sensors? Taking all tips!! Thanks ahead of time, guys. SCOTT

I had no problems, they dropped right in. Wiring on the starter was far enough away so that was not an issue. After getting the headers in (not bolted) i installed the O2 sensors. After installing the sensors you can snug everything up. Use the stock gaskets.
