Header Plug - Brand Differences?

Hey, I just got a couple simple questions.

A few months back, I ordered for my cousin a pair of Flowtech header plugs (they call them 'Race Readies') for his '52 Ford pickup. I really liked them alot, because they were pretty easy to install and to use. And I REALLY liked the way they sounded. (Ever hear a flathead V8 with open duals? )

Anyway, I liked them enough that I ordered a single 3" one for myself about a week ago from Summit and its not here yet. Its is the Summit brand peice.

What I was wondering, is what all comes with it? The set from Flowtech my cousin got came with both header plugs, gaskets, wingnuts and a special tool, basically a tube bent 90* and has a slot in one end, to tighten and loosen the wingnuts.

Does the Summit header plugs come with all of this stuff too? Like the gaskets and tool and stuff? I got the Summit peice instead of the Flowtech one because Flowtech, AFAIK, only sold them in pairs and I only needed one. And it was only $26 too.

Heres the Summit pic:

Not sure, but you could have gotten a single flowtech cutout. Just click on thunder racing at the top of the page.

Hmm.... just looked at Thunder Racing's site... there is a single 3" Flowtech. Almost $10 more than what I paid at Summit for theirs though.

Is there any significant difference between the Flowtech and Summit cutouts? The Flowtech is $34, and the Summit was $26.

I have the flowtech, but I would bet they are very similar, if not the exact same.

Yea, I'm pretty sure they are the same. The pic of the Summit one looks exactly the same as the pair of Flowtech's my cousin got. Identical.

I'd just like to know if the Summit one comes with the gaskets and tool and that kinda stuff like the Flowtech ones do.
