stage 8 fasteners

stage 8 fasteners:
has anybody used them between stock exhaust manifolds and exhaust collectors (I think that's the name)?
i'm thinking about getting them because I previously had problems with nuts and bolts getting loose.

Stage 8 is a good quality brand, but a torque wrench and the correct type of sealant (Locktite) will do what you need. I would use the green colored stuff. It holds bearing races in place. Requires a heat source (torch) to remove. But you need grade 8 nuts and bolts, washers and lock washers, to start with.

Loctite will not work for long after the header gets heated up.
If you are concerned about the bolts loosening then put a jam nut on each one.

If just exhaust manifolds I don't see why some grade 8 bolts with lock washers wouldn't do. Headers, heck yeah Stage 8.
