I know it has gaskets and bolts, but what else? What in it makes it a requirement, like what does it include that I can't get somewhere else?
Thanks

I got mine w/o the install kit and I ended up calling up and getting the cat adapter (little 3" bend)


I already had gaskets, bolts and stuff and this was all I needed. The bolts are all different sizes so aftermarket 'kits' won't work. They are all 3/8-16 ranging between 3/4" to 1-3/4" with some in between. You can measure them and pick bolts up anywhere (I got allen heads for an easier fit)

I hear they give a 90 degree boot or some kind of heat sleeve for the coolant switch connector, but I modded my own by cutting and crimping a terminal on it and slipping a spark plug boot over it. Worked.

I don't think i need the cat adapter, but how could I figure out what bolts I would need?
thanks

 

Measure the flange of the headers when you get them (some have tubes added on so the lenths are all diff). add 1/2" to get bolt size. Don't go too big because the heads are blind tapped and it will bottom out.

The kit contains all gaskets, bolts, donut rings, and U-clamps needed for installation. If you get the AIR setup it also includes the necessary parts for that connection.

The kit does NOT include the cat adapter which in most cases is necessary. If you look at the angle the collector ends and look at the angle the cat-conv begins you may see about a 45 degree difference, this is where the adapter fits in.

see, I think I'm gonna get the AL gaskets, so I'm trying to decide if I need to spend the $60 to get this kit and then have to spend another $35 or whatever for new gaskets, and possibly getting locking bolts too.

 

The gaskets included in the kit work very good. Don't wknow what the locking bolts are used for, but the kit is worth the money based on simplicity. You could maybe save a bit by shopping around for the parts individually.
