So, you’re diving into some serious engine work, huh? If you’re running a late model Bowtie or Dart Merlin setup, you’ll want to check out these ARP exhaust bolts. They’re no joke. Made from tough chromoly steel, these bolts are built to withstand the heat and stress of high-performance applications. Plus, they come with a sleek black oxide finish that not only looks great but also adds a layer of corrosion resistance.

Now, let’s talk about the details. These bolts are 12-point, which means you can get a solid grip on them, making installation a breeze. And yes, they come with washers included, so you’re covered there. Just to clarify, these are bolts only—no studs or extra fittings here. They’re designed to fit snugly without any need for cutting, which is perfect if you want a straightforward install without the hassle.

What I really appreciate about these ARP bolts is their reliability. You can crank down on them without worrying about stripping or breaking under pressure. If you’re pushing your Chevy to the limit, these are the kind of fasteners you want holding everything together. Trust me, when you’re out on the track or just cruising, you don’t want to be second-guessing your hardware.

So, if you’re ready to upgrade your exhaust setup, grab these ARP bolts and get to work. They’ll keep your system tight and leak-free, letting you focus on what really matters—enjoying the ride.

The Story Behind ARP Bolts

ARP (Automotive Racing Products) was founded by Gary Holzapfel in 1968 when he noticed his drag-racing friends succumbing to bolt-induced engine failure as a result of poor-quality fasteners. He drew upon his expertise in the aerospace industry to develop a solution, which turned into a successful business nonetheless. 

Since its inception, ARP has been engineering and perfecting a wide range of bolts, studs, nuts, and other fasteners for engines, cylinder heads, headers, wheels, and transmissions. Today, ARP remains the undisputed world leader in automotive fasteners. Racing aficionados everywhere know and recognize the ARP brand and can vouch for its quality.

What Makes ARP Bolts So Special?

Located in Ventura, California, all ARP processes from raw wire to finished fasteners are conducted in-house, right here in the USA. The company continually improves its processes with strict quality control guidelines and is dedicated to producing products that are second to none. Simply put, ARP Bolts are better than the competition because of their quality materials and advanced processes. 

ARP prides itself on using only top-quality materials that are above the usual “aerospace-grade” quality that other manufacturers settle for. For example, while 8740 Chromoly steel has four different grades, ARP only uses the top two, SDF and CHQ. These grades cost twice as much as the lower commercial and aircraft grades, but deliver “zero defect” quality that you can trust each and every time.

ARP Bolts are built to withstand serious racing, possess greater tensile strengths, and can survive higher stress levels than most aircraft fasteners. ARP is dedicated to creating fasteners that boast ultimate strength and durability to ensure they last race after race. Its product lineup ranges from quality high-performance OEM parts to exotic specialty hardware for IndyCar, NASCAR, NHRA drag racing, Formula 1, and even marine applications.
