Default Header install kit?

Just ordered ARH headers and catted Y. Is there an install kit that is better than any other, and if so, who sells it? If not, could someone help me mix and match parts. Are the locking header bolts worth it? Do I need the spark plug tool that SLP sells? And so on.

Thanks in advance.

Run the OEM manifold gaskets. I had no luck with the copper ones or paper. I have been running the stock bolts for 5 years and no problems. The spark plug tool would help.

I don't think the locking bolts are a big deal. If you re tighten after a few heat cycles, they should be alright.
