What It Helps Fix

• Exhaust leaks at the manifold-to-cylinder-head sealing surface
• Broken, rusted, or heat-fatigued exhaust fasteners
• Corroded flange hardware at exhaust connection points
• Noise from a leaking exhaust manifold on 5.7L HEMI engines
• Service delays caused by sourcing separate manifold hardware components

Installation Notes

Verify engine size, bank position, and model-year fitment before installation. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect the manifold and flange faces for warpage or damage before reassembly. Follow factory torque specifications and tightening sequence for the Chrysler Aspen, Dodge Durango, or Dodge Ram application being serviced. Confirm thread sizes and hardware lengths against the original components during installation.
