Exhaust Bolt Kit X AUTOHAUX Stainless Steel

Description

Product Overview

The X AUTOHAUX Exhaust Manifold Bolt Kit is engineered for durability and precision. Crafted from high‑grade stainless steel, each bolt and nut resists corrosion and maintains tensile strength under extreme engine heat. The kit includes sixteen 5×0.8 cm bolts and matching nuts, matching the original OEM specifications for Ford Explorer (2002‑2010), F‑150 (1997‑2013), F‑250/350 Super Duty (1999‑2013), Mustang (1996‑2009), E‑350 (2004‑2013) and compatible Mercury models. With a compact package measuring 5.51 × 3.94 × 0.59 inches and weighing just 12.3 oz, it offers an easy, direct‑replace solution for worn or missing fasteners.

Usage

Designed for both professional workshops and home garages, this bolt kit secures the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head, ensuring optimal exhaust flow and engine performance. Ideal for routine maintenance, rebuilds, or after‑market upgrades, the stainless steel construction tolerates high temperatures and vibration, making it suitable for daily driving, off‑road adventures, and heavy‑duty towing. Mechanics appreciate the precise thread fit (M8 × 1.25) that eliminates the need for re‑threading, while DIY owners benefit from the straightforward installation process that requires only standard tools.

FAQ

Do I need any special tools to install the kit?

No special tools are required; a standard torque wrench and socket set are sufficient for proper installation.

Will the stainless steel bolts affect exhaust flow?

No, the bolts are designed to match OEM specifications and do not impede exhaust flow or performance.

Is this kit covered by a warranty?

Yes, X AUTOHAUX offers a limited one‑year warranty against manufacturing defects.

Can I use this kit on vehicles outside the listed model years?

While the kit is optimized for the listed Ford and Mercury models, it may fit other vehicles with identical bolt patterns; verify thread size before purchase.

How does stainless steel compare to the original material?

The original OEM bolts are often zinc‑plated steel; stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance and a longer service life, especially in harsh climates.
