Question about long tubes set up - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

CamaroC-17 · 05-13-2011, 10:14 AM

I am getting ready to throw on my long tubes. I just ordered high flow cats as well. How many O2 sensor extensions do I need and can I re use stock clamps or will I need to buy 4 that will connect the header to the cat then to the rest of the exhaust?

anyone?

GretchenGotGrowl · 05-13-2011, 12:41 PM

Which one did you get? Mine came with everything I needed except the silicon. IIRC you need two O2 extensions and the stock clamps fit when connecting the cat tubes to the h-pipe. Mine were stainless works.

silicon for the clamps?

KMPrenger · 05-13-2011, 01:42 PM

I'd guess silicon would be used for places, like screwing in the 02 sensors, as well as where the cat slides onto the header, and where the catback slides onto the cat? Not exactly sure since I haven't done LT headers.

you will need ext for rear 2 o2, and clamps or any hardware should come with your header. Gasket is reused since OE is one of the better kind. What header did u purchase?

The ARH came with front extensions and clamps for the header to high flow cats. You then re-use your existing band clamp from the cat to the cat-back exhaust system.

I didn't use any silicone on my O2 sensors, wouldn't know why you would need that.

I think they should all be about the same. It took me about 5 hours in my driveway with the help of my son (extra hands makes it easier but 1 oerson can do it as well).

Anti-seize for the O2 sensors and header bolts(they're steel going into aluminum), I didn't use silicone on anything, 2 extensions needed if not included with the headers, and I reused the clamps.
