Default Speed Engineering Header Order Help

First forum post so apologies if anything is wrong. I am looking into speed engineering headers for my 2012 M6 LS3 base model (not trying to make huge power or anything don’t need to spend thousands on headers). I am sure I want to get the X pipe as it doesn’t fit with the stock one, and I will also be getting the steel gaskets as the graphite ones I have been told are junk. My question is do I need the spark plug wires that they sell with it, and if so do I need the 10” or 12” wires. I also would like to know if I need the O2 sensor extensions they sell if I do not plan on having cats. Thank you in advance, and here is the link to the headers and related hardware on their site https://speed-engineering.com/products/ls1-ls6-c5-corvette-longtube-headers-1-7-8-race-version-x-pipe-stainless-m2

Yes to O2 extensions. If you want to swap plug wires, standard length works but maybe get some heat proof sleeves.

On M6 cars you will need to shield the clutch line. This is must as the rubber clutch line will burst due to high heat and also will cause a fire!
