Default Installation Tips for Long Tube Headers

Hey everyone,

I just bought a set of long tube headers for my 2012 Camaro SS, and I’m getting ready to install them. I’ve watched a few guides, but it seems like a tricky job with tight spaces, removed components, and dealing with the O2 sensors.

I want to avoid stripped bolts or leaks. Did anyone here do the install themselves? What tools and tricks made it easier?

Also, should I expect to need a tune afterward, or will it run fine on stock ECU settings? Any tips or gotchas to avoid would be greatly appreciated!

thanks in advance for any help
