The kit will come with a tool that has an allen head and a tee handle for you to access the bolts that are under the runners, other then that you will need the following sockets...14mm(to remove strut bar), 12mm, 10mm, 8mm(makes the air intake clamps easier), a pair of pliers or needle noses for hose clamp removal, I would also recommend some abrasive sandpaper and grey RTV because the throttle body to manifold flange WILL leak at some point...trust me. Oh and be sure to use brake cleaner or something like that to get your fingerprints off the stainless steel before it gets to operating temperture, once it does they will turn blue and purple...hhhmmmm, I think I may have missed something...

Also, after the install, check for vacuum leaks...your car should sound a little bit louder but it should NOT have a rough idle...like an old musclecar. You may also get a P1273 code(check engine light) which is from the extra richness that the manifold produce, the good news is that after you make sure everything is secure and tight you can drive it, and it will blow your mind over 4500rpm...good luck
Oh and don't break the evap bracket like I did...ooops

I had to do the RTV on the throttle body. Might as well for sanity sakes.
I also went with those Nextgear thermoguard gaskets. Seems like a good investment to me, and you are all the way in there anyway. Same tools described, just a few more bolts.
Other than that, a couple of long thin screwdrivers to mess around with stupid vacum hoses that don't want to cooperate...
