exhaust system fastners

[rocco16 at sbcglobal.net (LEF)]

You might try using brass or bronze nuts on the standard, hardware store zinc-plated bolts.  Or, go full-zoot with Stainless bolts/brass nuts.  
 I do know that some car manufacturers used to use brass nuts on the exhaust manifold nuts 40+ years ago...and, while they made an incredible screech when you unscrewed them after being in place for decades, they DID come off!

     i usually pick up the zinc plated bolts at home depot when putting my 
  exhaust back together. only problem is that they usually need to cut off 
  if i ever have to replace a pipe, etc. would the galvanized work any 
  better? anyone use anything else that doesn't rust and is moderately 
  less difficult to remove? thanx.
