Exhaust mounting clips

[Wulf]

I've been attempting to source these exhaust manifold to downpipe clips for my 05 LJ

The Mopar part # is 06506546AA. The only places where I have found them are a half dozen sites through Google search that all look the same https://www.moparpartsinc.com/p/Jeep__Wrangler/NUT-Exhaust-Manifold-Exhaust-Pipe-To-Manifold--Front--Rear/42258420/06506546AA.html?
Posting a question about whether the order was per piece or the 4 needed has not been responded to for 3 days.
They all look scammy Tbh, so, here I am seeking an alternative source or should I just suffer trying to use a regular nut?
Thanks

No idea on the quantity or scam part except if it ends in -01 that is 1 piece and -04 is 4 pieces. There is no aftermarket equivalent. I'm not a fan of regular nuts so I use the extruded U nuts from Mopar.

I've been considering these for the next time I have to drop the exhaust.

That's the only place I haven't searched. Thank you. I've called every exhaust shop and parts store around, completely forgot about dealership

Dealer will have them tomorrow. I feel dumb. Thanks old jeep man for lending me your brain power. I've spent almost a week and a tank of gas trying to find these.

Anyone that uses a split lock washer in that application should avoid anything to do with fasteners including but not limited to, making them, using them, or selling them.

Can you explain why?

Split locks are for very specific applications where the fastener is too short, or too soft to be retained under normal methods. That would be brass and similar electrical connections where thermal cycling from resistance based heat can loosen the connection and very short fastening like the pitman where we can't stretch the fastener.

I figured that the split lock washer on my exhaust would hold long enough for it to rust into place...but clearly that's not always been the case. =)

Need to up my exhaust fasteners game.

Got it, thank you.

Fasteners are fascinating!
