Did you use anti-seize on the bolt threads?

According to Okie Boy, "stainless steel is notorious for galling if you dont use anti-seize on the threads or if you over torque the bolts. Several people have had this same problem with the exhaust flange bolts on the cat."

The driver justs loves the performance so much, their brain say to their ears, "who asked you anyway." The drone does not quiet down enough to say it does. We need a resonator tip, please.
