If you have kooks headers you will have to have the o2 censor extenstions. now when you order the headers they wont tell you that you have to have the extinsions, but you do.You also must have a kooks x pipe.

Well i ordered my kooks headers from a magazine, and all i got was some bolts and an exhaust manifold gasket. You had to order the extensions seperate. But i hope this guy got the extensions with the headers. Because its a pain trying to order 3 different parts,just so you can have your headers installed.

i also drilled two small holes in the tunnel plate, to hold them up off the pipes instead of running them on top of the plate.
