Re:exhaust hardware

Over the years with many types of cars my best luck has been with a
combo of a grade III steel bolt, 2 copper washers, a lock washer and a
brass nut. put a copper washer on each side. this works great unless
there is a lot of movement at the joint, then regular retightening is
required. Grade 8 bolts and washers (you have to go to a real hardware
store) antiseize and self locking grade 9 nuts are a more expensive but
lower maintence
alternative. The thick grey antiseize in the can with the brush in cap
that looks like frosting works great. (Do not substitute for marmite)
