Until it gets here, I was wondering whether I need to pick up anything extra to install it on the bike.
Stuff like exhaust sealant, gaskets, special tools, etc.
Do I need anything else?
Thanks.
Four header crush gaskets and a tool to remove the O2 sensor. I wouldn't think exhaust sealant is needed.
Have it shipped to my place. I'll figure it out for you. Then do some long term testing to make it's right.

Gentlemen,
How does one remove the old crush gaskets? Those things are really stuck in there.

In the past I have used a pointed pick with a bent tip (like dentist might use for scraping tarter from between tour teeth) hook it on the inside and pop it out.
If you take a flat screwdriver and tap it with a small hammer, tip on the inside lip of the gasket, will put the gasket enough out of round that you can use a dental pick or such to pop it out. The gaskets are very soft and all you need is enough space between it and the head to get a pick in behind it.
I made my own O2 tool. Worked perfect.
Thanks.
Any Torque Specifications I should use?
Book says exhaust pipe joint nuts, headers to engine, is 16 ft/lb.

A spring tool works great. Looks like a bent pick with a handle built in.
Waiting, waiting...
