Turk, any exhaust fasteners should be coated with anti-seize. Due to the constant heat/cool cycles threaded fasteners, be they stainless or steel, will be much easier to disassemble. Especially stainless steel is very bad about galling and pulling threads out. The fastener loosening is usually due to gasket compression. The very best thread lubricant I have found is made by ARP. The ARP thread sealant is real good stuff also. Frozen, galled bolts really suck!
