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
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.
The threaded studs stay in the cylinder head while the nuts secure the manifold.
Washers provide the seating surface beneath the nuts at each mounting position.
Alloy steel hardware with a black oxide finish for the exhaust manifold connection.
