Default Installing BBK Headers

I brought my car into the shop on friday and they called me yesterday saying they were having some problems with the BBK Headers. First off I had to buy Extensions for my o2 Sensors, not a problem. But then they told me that my Dipstick and EGR Valve were having problems.

Anyone have any problems with either of those when installing Long Tubes?

the dipstick is a pain in the royal ace to get back in. and the egr valve you have to disconect it from the plenum and put it on the header than put it on the plenum. i have bbks and they are a bitch but sound so dam good

I really don't know. They were talking at least 10000words a minute and I just wanted to run it by people on this forum. What problems might there be with the installation? I think that like they were getting in the way or something like that.
