Overview

Upgrade your Cummins exhaust manifold hardware with a complete stud-based fastener solution engineered for durability, proper fitment, and long-lasting performance. This kit replaces worn factory bolts and provides the correct hardware required when installing factory or aftermarket exhaust manifolds.

Using manifold studs helps improve alignment during installation and promotes more consistent clamping force compared to traditional bolts—especially important in high-heat diesel applications subject to thermal expansion and vibration. For best results, new exhaust manifold gaskets should be installed prior to securing the manifold.

Engineering details

Small details. A secure manifold connection.

The studs engage the cylinder head, and the manifold fits over them. Tightening the nuts against the washers clamps the manifold at the exhaust-port joint.

How fasteners secure the exhaust flange A local section through an exhaust flange at the cylinder head. Hardware clamps the flange at the exhaust connection. Bolts, spacers, studs and nuts are shown only for the relevant kit family. Cylinder head Stud Threads Manifold flange Washer+ nut
