Copper Exhaust Flange Nuts Question
Has anybody used Copper (plated) Flange Lock Nuts 8mm x 1.25mm Pitch for y-pipe to exhaust header stud bolts?
I use a lot of copper anti-seize on exhaust system bolts already. I can see how it would help.
The parts store stainless versions I used three years ago on the y-pipe installation are well rusted now. Before I install another y-pipe, I would like to find something that will last.

When I did my complete exhaust system rebuild a couple of years back (Y-pipe to tail pipe) we just heated the factory original nuts up and hit them with an impact gun. Every one came off easily. I went back with OEM nuts but I wasn't after the pretty factor just function. But man please post what you come up with I'm sure it will be stunning.
