Default long tubes ordered, what else do i need?

So i just ordered my long tubes and o/r h pipe, should arrive on friday! But what else am i missing? I know i need some O2 extentions, but do i need them only for the back or both front and back? Running it without mil's will throw a code, but will that effect my air/fuel mixture? Gaskets. I need one for each side correct? Anything else i am forgetting?

What is the biggest tip that will look good under the stock bumper(i like the look and don't try to convince me otherwise)? I have 2" tips and want some bigger ones.

Ordered:
long tube headers
o/r h pipe

Need to order:
O2 extentions
mil's
bigger tips

Have:
flowmasters 50 series
MAC flowpaths

I've got the LT catless w/ flow 40's set-up. I need cats, but I just dont have the money for'em, maybe before christmas.

Here's a sound clip, not the best, but whatever works.

Well i think i am going to kill 2 birds with 1 stone and buy a used tuner so i won't need the mil's then. Anything else i am forgetting? I would really hate to start to work on this and realize i don't have something i need.

What size pipe are you going to use? I had a hell of a time findinga two bolt collector flangefor 2 1/2" exhaust, it took 4 days to order and receive them.

Mac longtbues and Mac o/r h pipe, so it should allready have the flanges on it. The only ones i need are for the end of the o/r h pipe to the mufflers, but i'll let my exhaust shop worry about that.
