Exhaust Studs

So I picked up a set of these babies from the folks at Diamond Engineering. Polished SS and they are as strong as they are SWEET! My kit came with the 12 point nuts though. Anyways, I noticed they don't come with any pressure washers.

Should I install some?

I've never had washers on my studs but don't see a problem with them. I like those you found. I had my issues with the exhaust studs breaking after my Sturgis trip this year.

Oh by the way, a pair of exhaust studs from my local HD dealer was $16.

Just FYI, 12 point fasteners are awesome and great looking but just a hint, make sure you use a good quality socket on them whether it is a straight or a 'wobbly' and have the socket seated squarely when wrenching on them. Aircraft use these exclusively and people are always using worn out sockets or dont have them on straight and round the nuts off. Real biotch to get off when this happens. Love them things, gonna get a set of'em. Thanks!!

Husker,
you are correct. I already got a brand spankin new socket just for these puppies as I've been one of those guys working on a jet with the crappy tools they give us busting my knuckles on engine heat shields!:angry:

Update from Diamond Engineering

Word I got back from Dan at Diamond is perhaps one of our supporting vendors could get set up as a dealer.

He's also looking into the site sponsor deal with the boss.

If any of our vendors wants to get set up as a dealer, feel free to pm me and I'll get you his info.
