Exhaust bolts coming loose...

[eXceed]

Getting well fed up of having to re-tighten the bolts on my catback/manifold every weekend. Have no idea what to do as it just keeps separating however tight I do it. Anyone recommend any solutions/washers/anti-vibration bolts?
Getting pretty near solid mounts soon which will hopefully stop my problem.
In the meantime anyone got any recommendations?

Solid mounts will make the issue worse as there will be more vibration....

Have you got locknuts?
Loctite?
Spring bolts?

Lock nuts have solved the problem for me, thanks Stoo . Literally never heard of locknuts before :S...

You're welcome dude!!

But really, never heard of locknuts.......

did you guys use nylock nuts?

Also consider wire tyeing.

Nylock nuts would not be suitable for an exhaust imho....

The nylon could melt and the nut would then become insecure again.

Also , ire locking is unsuitable for this application also....
