Quality
"The spacers and bolts are just a little shorter than OEM. No install issues. Nice attention to fit and finish. Not sure what the 2 stainless steel fasteners are for. They weren't needed for the install on my 2004 Cummins."

PPE Exhaust Manifold Bolt & Spacer Kit 98.5-18 Ram 5.9L / 6.7L Cummins
Description
Overview
Upgrade your Cummins 5.9L/6.7L by replacing the worn-out or damaged exhaust manifold bolts with the efficient and durable PPE Exhaust Manifold Bolt and Spacer Kit. Over time, repetitive heat cycles can take a toll on factory bolts, causing fatigue and stretching, ultimately resulting in troublesome exhaust leaks. Each PPE Manifold Bolt is centerless ground and rolled with extreme precision, reducing stress concentrations, and increasing durability. The use of spacers mitigates the heat expansion on the bolts and prevents permanent yields. All fasteners have a black oxide finish.
