My guess would be to call or e-mail Jegs and ask them. I have been meaning to do this myself, but I'm too lazy.

It does seem to be aluminum. I wonder if it comes with the bolts?

Just called Jeg's. It is aluminum (so you can polish it to match your plenum), and it does come with the bolts.

A new item for my X-mas list.

Are you sure it comes with the bolts? I bought mine about a year ago and i don't remember them giving me any hardware.

The guy said it definately came with the bolts, since the bolts for the aluminum piece and the bolts for the plastic piece are different.
It makes sense that they would count on murphy's law, (that you'd have the bolts that wouldn't fit) and wend them with it. Good thing for us second-hand TPI owners. Mine didn't have the bolts OR the plastic when I bought it.

Mine did not come with bolts...Yes its aluminum...Yes I polished mine and it looks great....The bolts are the same.....BUT Camaro firebird had a washer Pressed on...All you need to do is put the washer in a vice and tap out the screw...Actaully Withiout looking I cant confirm BUT I believe you can keep the washers on...I converted to 3 little titanium ones. ;-)

Mine is aluminum and did not come with bolts. The bolts are a dealer item.

I just found the order confirmation in my woman's desk too, she ordered it for me for X-mas. Crap. Any thoughts on where I can get the bolts for CHEAP? Dealer wanted $5 each here...

You can get little machine screws from home depot or lowe's for cheap that will fit. Just bring one of yours and tell them you need the metric screw that it is the same size as the original, without the washer.
