Smeding Diesel Stainless Steel Exhaust Manifold Studs 94-24 Dodge 5.9L/6.7L Cummins

For those who are doing maintenance work on their 5.9L or 6.7L Cummins, or if you're upgrading turbos or manifold, exhaust manifold studs are something to not overlook. If you are familiar with these engines, or any engine really, the installation of an exhaust manifold has its challenges. Some struggle with the gaskets and hardware lining up all while holding the weight of the manifold, all while this can be eliminated completely with studs. Smeding Diesel's Stainless Steel Exhaust Manifold Studs are the perfect addition for your engine. With the turbocharger and manifold off, you're able to thread in the mounting studs directly into the cylinder head, slip the gaskets over that, and easily install the manifold. This saves you time for the installation and these are a much cleaner look for your engine bay. Each set includes 12 stainless steel studs, 12 washers, and 12 nuts which provides you with everything you need for a secure installation. Being stainless steel, they are resistant to corrosion, rust, and durable in extreme temperatures. Whether you're replacing worn out mounting hardware or looking to pretty up your engine bay, the Smeding Diesel Stainless Steel Exhaust Manifold Studs are a must.With your choice of 304 stainless-steel, tried and true great looking stuff, or 630 stainless-steel, over 3 times stronger and far more durable. With either of these fastener kits your truck will will look a littler cleaner and you'll never have to worry about manifold hardware issues again. When installing set initial torque to 40ft/lbs using anti-seize on the threads, then Smeding recommends a hot re-torque back to 40 ft/lbs.
