Default Long tubes on the way!

Pulled the trigger on a set of long tubes. Should be here later this week i hope. I know i will need a new tune, which isnt an issue. Where is the best place to by 02 extensions or is it easy enough to do it myself? What about bolts? Im not sure if i want to go with the locking ones just because it seems like a pain that is unnecessary. Who has the best install guide?

Also, i will be doing this in a garage pit and believe i have access to a engine jack. I know ill have to jack the motor a little, and was wondering if new mounts will really be worth it? Any other suggestions.

As far as a tune i have bamachips now, but should i try out brenspeed or tillman?

If you already have the engine up, put in new mounts. Which LT's did you go with?

I went ahead and got the Stage 8 bolts when my shorty headers were installed. $45 or $50 is pretty cheap insurance against a leak...been there done that on another car and would rather not revisit that problem. I'm not sure what kind of gaskets come with those headers, but make sure they're of high quality as well.

the gaskets are the one thing im undecided if i will use from the kit. some people have without issues, but some have steered away from it.
