- Water-jet cut 304 stainless cat-back flanges, and CNC'd 304 stainless V-Band flanges.

- 100% TIG welded, argon back-purged.

- Set of our exclusive bomb-proof exhaust gaskets included.

- Grade 10.9 Metric hardware (145,000PSI tensile strength, C32-C39 rockwell, zinc plated), and nord-lock positive locking re-usable washers included.

Especially critical in applications exposed to temperatures in excess of 1200°F. Such temperatures will also rapidly deteriorate the polished finish.

ar design N54 Bomb Proof Exhaust Gasket Set - $29

Features:

- Metal-clad bomb-proof gasket material. Designed and manufactured right here in the USA.

Downpipe to catback fasteners coming loose, causing annoying exhaust rattles and leaks? Hardware seized up and rusted out?

Look no further! Our new hardware kit is the perfect solution. Includes class 10.9 Metric hardware (145,000PSI tensile strength, C32-C39 Rockwell, Zinc Plated) and NORD-LOCK positive locking re-usable washers. These washers use a wedge locking action to create tension instead of friction to create a positive lock. When the bolt and/or nut is tightened the teeth grip and seat the mating surfaces. The NORD-LOCK washer is locked in place, allowing movement only across the face of the cams. Any attempt from the bolt/nut to rotate loose is blocked by the wedge effect of the cams.

Kit Includes:

- 4 class 10.9 zinc coated metric bolts
- 4 class 10.9 zinc coated nuts
- 8 Nord-Lock or Wave-Loc washers

If you are concerned about scratching the coating on your coated downpipes, select the "Coated Downpipes" option and we will replace the Nord-Lock washers with Wav-Loc washers that will not scratch the coating.

Add our gaskets to your order as well for a complete fastening and sealing solution!

I need some of these for a 335 application when the time is right.

bak@vorzex · 02-03-2011, 03:49 PM

Looks like a nice product.

ar design III · 02-21-2011, 01:01 PM

Monday Bump! Have a good stock of these packaged up and ready to ship out!

Single-t · 02-22-2011, 12:37 AM

If you're "thinking" about adding dps, stop thinking and do it. Best mod I've done besides tuner. Speaking of which I can now run map 7, takes fun to a whole new level. Now just looking for my first kill.

I have to praise the AR Design DPs...absolutely beautiful product and smooth as silk. Not dissing anyone else, but you can't go wrong with ARs in my opinion. The welds are SUPER clean!

Hope to have some dyno numbers soon.
