Buying used headers without O2 extensions or gaskets
I found a set of LG headers and X pipe for my 05 C6 but the guy lost the extensions. What size extensions would i need? also is there anything else i may need with the install he only has the headers and x pipe nothing else. I plan on buying a new Ls1 exhaust gasket as LG says those work the best with their headers. Please include where i may find the parts. Thank you all.

Just did this
I just did this on my 07. Got a set of ARH and X-pipe from a forum member, same thing no extensions. He suggested amazon, i ended up going with Summit (have used them for years). Summit part # for the fronts are CEI-109229, MAKE SURE YOU GET 2 they are sold individually. The rears are part # WSGTOO2EXT they are sold in pairs (i know there different brands but i didn't see both from either brand still got the job done). A suggestion....... contact Fred at Specialty Automotive Materials and get his Z-COOL tunnel insulation kit its a good time to do it if you haven't yet and while you have the exhaust off.

Thank you all for the suggestions! I'll look into that Z-Cool i was planning on doing a tunnel plate kit when doing the install. Still debating whether or not to do it myself as i've been getting expensive quotes.

Any lenght will work if you're ok with tying it up in a bundle and attaching the extra somewhere. Measuring what you need or asking the vendor would be the way to go. I was given a set of used ones and never liked the idea that they were longer than necessary. I'd suggest the OP do a little research and end up with a tidy job. Those are not wires you want hanging down scraping the road later on.
