    I will be buying some JBA long tubes soon and just wanted to make sure I get everything I need for the project. I plan on getting some steeda motor mounts. I think I remember reading on here that you might as well change them out now since I will have to lift the motor to replace the headers. Is there anything else I should be getting to make the job complete? Do I need different O2 sensors or anything like that?

    What mid pipe are you going to run? You will need a retune or will get a check engine light if you plan on running an O/R pipe; Also the retune will change the o2 sensor data for the heater circuits, since the pre cat o2s will be farther from the engine they will take longer to reach temp and may cause heater o2 heater circuit codes. You will also need a pair of o2 sensor extenders for the pre-cat o2s. You will need to loosen the motor mounts so that you can gain room for the headers, also you will need to take the starter loose. I also recommend removing the battery.

    What other mods to you have? Manual or Automatic?
