Default got my pacesetters today, couple of ?s

I got my headers today and they came with a bunch of butt connectors, white wire (looks like speaker wire) and some shiney black plastic tubing. Does anyone know what this is used for? thanks guys
Also those of you who have pacesetters did you recieve anything else with your headers other then i described?

My guess, since I don't have mine yet, is that the wires/connectors are for extending your O2 sensors if needed. And maybe the black tubing is to cover the wires with after you have modified them. Just guessing though.

The electrical stuff is for extending the O2 sensor connectors if needed. My two trucks didn't require it. An F body or vette might. I hope you got the OR Y pipe because doing it any other way is going to require some fabrication which is going to end up costing a lot more than what they charge for that Y pipe not to mention the time to do the extra work.

Yes it is shrink wrap



Im not trying to be a dick when I say this but did the headers come with instructions?

Mine had a sheet telling me what all that was for and how to do it the right way.

HEAT SHRINK If you need instructions (wich mine did not come with, or at least I didnt see em) hand over your *****. It would have been nice to have some with the Y pipe though. Put it together from the front back. (or was it the rear forward?)

Mine had the plate, and gasket for it, but no manifold gaskets. But I hear they suck anyway, just re-use the factory gaskets.

I didn't get instructions (don't think you would really need instructions) I didn't recieve any kind of paperwork explaining what that stuff was for wich puzzled me

Dont these trucks have to 2 sets of o2 sensors 1 in front the cat and one in back? Would it be one in front thats needs to be extended?
