I thought that if you have a tuner you can turn them off?
Do you still have to put them in after doin the LT's?

You can turn the rears off. The front ones control the A/F ratios

Did you actually need them on the rear ones? I have my BBK's going on and I purchased the extensions only for the front.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you will need 02 extensions.

you only need 02 extentions for the fronts the mil eliminators make a resistance for the rear 02s that tells the comp that they are running fine. just long tubes i am finding out are a pita

thats pretty half fast pfftt BBK... ever since i got the BBK xpipe i could wait to get that junk off my car.....I always hated BBK, they so cheap and dont even include everything needed, the headers should have come WITH extensions
