Yes. Everything you need for a complete install. The only thing you need to supply is the tools to install it.

^ and you can easily do it with a 10 mm socket wrench, extension and a flat head screw driver (for the g/z tube.

Those are the only tools I use I've never used a torque wrench and I've never had problems.

ive snapped the head off the bolts while torqing them down. not because I over torqued them, but just because i was using too short of a wrench and the angle i was standing at. go slowly and tighten in steps. 3-5 passes of tightening the bolts is best to assure they are all evenly seated

I guess you would have to contact the dealer for an extra lower manifold bolt??

I feel like this is is a good thread to keep going. Because I made both major mistakes.

Mistake number one:


Dropped the plastic bolt spacer into the lower plenum..and that's it resting on a valve!! (closed thank god)

Mistake number two:
Because I had to remove the lower plenum to fish out the plastic piece... while putting it back together I used an in-lb torque wrench and was torquing the first bolt to 40 inch-lbs like the manual says.. and SNAP! broke a bolt Realized I didn't have the torque wrench set correctly so it was acting like a ratchet. Just be patient everyone and all other new guys out there!
