Not really as with a kit you should get bolts, nuts, springs, firing ring anend caps and top hat flange thingies, look on kam racing for exhaust fitting kits for an example

As said seems about the right price for a fitting kit, you get the fire gasket and the bolts, tbh they usualy come with two sets of bolts too
