This is one plenum that isn't supplied in a kit form. Also rather than drilling out the lower plenum holes on the passenger side go buy yourself some studs to thread into the lower manifold and bolt it down from the top. It won't look as pretty but its much much easier and will provide a better clamp. If it's a power coated plenum ditch the metal gasket and just use a good quality goo instead. They're a very good plenum though so enjoy :-)

Not really a fun job on a weekend but well worth it at the end of the day

plazmaman Member 43 Member For: 20y 18d Posted 30/10/10 04:36 AM Posted 30/10/10 04:36 AM All plenums come with vaccum fittings and studs/nuts as standard . as of a few months ago all plenums now come COMPLETE with brake booster extension hose , vaccum line and there is an option when purchasing to buy a plug in loom ($75). We offer this as an option as many of you guys prefer to solder the wiring (we supply free of charge) as it keeps the total cost of the unit down . ih8toads , our powdercoating process has changed , so you can use the gasket now as well . As for the beer , I highly recommend it when working on cars . possum , sorry bout the tbody flange holes , we had a tap break in the CNC and only noticed the day after we sent yours .
