Description
The Mishimoto MMEXH-RAM-94SK manifold stud kit replaces the factory hardware holding the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head on Cummins-powered Ram trucks, delivering increased clamping force to help stop boost-killing leaks before they start. Machined with 12-point nuts and finished for strength, this stud kit is built to keep the manifold seated tight through repeated heat cycles.
Beyond sealing performance, this Mishimoto manifold stud kit reduces the risk of manifold warpage by evenly increasing clamping force across the mating surface. Chromium-infused steel construction adds strength and corrosion resistance, while the 12-point head design cuts down on the chance of rounding off nuts during install or future service. Anyone who has fought to line up a heavy manifold and turbocharger single-handedly while threading factory bolts will appreciate how much easier this kit makes the job of installing gaskets and seating the manifold to the head. It’s backed by a Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty for long-term peace of mind.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto stud kit is designed for Cummins-powered Ram trucks, covering the Dodge Ram 2500 from 1994 through 2010 and continuing coverage for the Ram 2500 from 2011 through 2018. It also fits the heavy-duty Dodge Ram 4500 and Dodge Ram 5500 from 2008 through 2010, with continued coverage on the Ram 4500 and Ram 5500 from 2011 through 2018. Depending on the application, this stud kit is compatible with aftermarket exhaust manifolds only on 5.9L 12V engines and requires removal of the factory heat shield on 5.9L 24V engines; some factory coolant line brackets may not work with this stud kit depending on the vehicle.
