You use mil eliminators for your rear 2 sensors and reuse your stock 02 sensroes for the fonr of the pipe(closest to headers) Everything should be in the kits to mount to each pipe unless you bought pipes that won't match up right. You might call AM and ask them if flanges were supposed to come withthe pipes. You should have bolts and connectors o nthe new pipes to connect everything together. Some manufacturers may be different. I suppose it dpends on the pipes you got.

I got the bbk, i just figured they would give me the flanges with it....cuz i WILL need them won't i? and i'm going to have to buy a tuner to get the CEL, although i don't know what all to put into the information they want (recommended mods and stuff) i just don't wanna put the wrong stuff in...so yeah i'm gonna need help with that if someone could help me..(the SCT 2 tuner.)

(I also went to advanced auto parts for one of those books on our 4.6 motors, and the guy said that i should use two copper flanges so i don't have to go back and retighten and it doesn't leak and such.....just wondering because most of the guys who work there don't know crap about what they're talking about.. any help there??....lol)

Thanks.

don't use bbk gaskets, only use factory ones. i got the o2 extenders from steeda. i did not need any flanges. you need a stubby 13mm ratchet style wrench.

So all i will need is what i got? LT's, shorty H, bolts, stock gaskets, and stock o2 sensors?..

yeah you got it, if you are reusing your stock gaskets make sure they are in good condition, don't wanna do it twice.

i followed this pretty closely, a few socket sizes were off but it is very helpful: http://www.fnsweet.com/garage/lt_install/index.shtml
