Nuts !

Do the Acorn nuts on the exhaust ports have washers ? Mine don’t.Would a bit of locative be advisable ?

Per the RonAyers parts fishy they DO NOT have washers.

Torque them to the required spec. I almost thing with all the heat right there Loctite may not do much good. - Good luck.

It probably wouldn't hurt to have washers on the studs, and loctite wont be of much use on them because of the heat.

What he said! I only use washers when more clamping pressure is needed. These are SS, of course. I use SS Crimpnuts also, just be sure to use just a small dab of antiseize when you thead them on.
Crimpnuts have one side slightly staked, that way you don't need loctite.
If you like your install to look rockin', use some SS Studs too....that way rust never gives you a problem.....
