What installation kit should I get for SLP headers?
I think I'm gonna get the SLP 1 3/4" headers w/o AIR tubes. The SLP part # is 30005. What installation kit should I get for it? On slpeng.com, there is 2 kits that looked like what I need. One was 88-92 single cat for $68 (part # 30022). The other part was 82-92 w/o AIR for $44.95 (part # 30043). Which one should I get?
BTW, I was going to custom make the exhaust (without any cat) from the 3" Y-pipe so I don't need any of the cat adapters.

14X3 open element, 3.73 gears, posi, dual 2 inch bendable exhaust, no mufflers or cats (kinda loud), 160 thermostat, relocated IAT, weight loss, lots-o-free mods and one hell of a crazy driver.
I have the slp headers w/AIR, the installation kit for it (30022) comes with 90 degree elbows and some extra lengths of hose for the AIR diverter valves.
I assume the installation kit for the non-AIR headers won't have these elbows. Save some cash by getting the kit w/o AIR since you won't be using the AIR anyway.

If I just got the header bolts, would I just have to get some gaskets and that would be all that I needed. How about the mounting hardware and crush-rings? Wouldn't it be best to just buy the whole kit together?
