They do, but its not a kit and its not intended for the Hemi. But you can get the correct length ARP bolts in 304SS and it will work with the stock manifold but you will loose the head shield. The issue is that when those thick A$$ manifolds warp they will snap any bolt you stick in there. Maybe if they used a larger M10 bolt but the M8 isn't that big and perhaps is the issue.I know this has probably been asked before....but wouldn't ARP make a bolt to work with the stock manifold with out breaking?
I just pulled my stock manifolds (no issues yet at only 9,600 miles) and as a preventative measure installed some ****** Blackheart shorty headers with ARP stainless bolts, I ceramic coated the headers before install and it took about 6hrs both sides with about 2hrs of cursing due to non header really related issues (think rusted completely exhaust clamp at the Ypipe and I had to cut it off). The snapping of the exhaust bolts should not be an issue now as the thinner header flange will not warp and cause the bolts to snap. I was in it about $450 for the headers (got rebates) and for the felpro stock exhaust gaskets and ARP Hemi Header Bolt kit. I ceramic coated them myself so no cost there. Drove the truck yesterday and she feels more alive, more power below 3k for sure!
