But checking them once or twice a year is the answer to that issue.
Studs and nuts on exhaust is way better in my opinion then bolts.

If you use studs with brass nuts even if the studs rust the softer brass nut releases without to much problem.

Thanks for the response. What material studs? Stainless?

Also where’s a good place to source these?
