Hey guys,

I know there are a ton of header install guides, but I have a few questions I have that i'm still not 100% on. I'm installing pacesetter lontubes (AIR and EGR equipped) on my 96' Trans Am, and getting two magnaflow cats welded into the ORY. During the install, i'll be installing new plugs, wires (maybe over the valve cover), and new energy suspension motor mounts.

You want to go the OTVC wire route

First Question: I don't need an O2 simulator for the O2 sensor after the cats, right? I read on an install guide that the guy installed 2 Cats and a simulator (doesnt make sense to me...)

Option A: get o2 bungs welded post cats when you manage to find someone to weld the cats into the ORY

Option B: o2 simms for both banks post cat

option C: Get them tuned out buy a tuner like PCM4Less

Second Question: What is the best way to install the motor mounts? I've jacked my engine up using a jack and block of wood on the corner of the oil pan before....Is this the best option, to just do this one side at a time?

Yes, remove the long bolt, jack the engine up to give you some room, make sure its secure in the air, and try any way you can to get them out

Third Question: I've heard that brand new headers mess up your O2 sensors by coating them with the stuff that burns off. Is there a way to avoid this? I dont want to ruin my O2 sensors and have to spend money on new ones...

Send them to Jet-hot before you even put them in. I've heard it but not had a problem

Fourth Question: What spark plugs are best? I changed them last big project I did, but I think I want to put brand new ones in while i'm down there.

NGK

I'm getting a little scared for this project...everyone says how hard it is and my experience is so-so. I'm sure i'll be asking you guys for more advice as I get started.


Thanks for your help everyone!
