Reply To: Exhaust nuts and bolts

I can only tell you what I did, I’m no expert on exhaust parts. I used stainless because that is what my replacement parts were made of. But I can tell you that they have started rusting already. With the heat cycles and abuse they see it’s unrealistic to think otherwise. If you’re feeling flush… no harm. And if you find yourself needing to take it apart in say 2 or 3 years you will be thankful that you did, much more than that and I suspect it won’t make much difference. That’s my take, but miata.net probably has better arguments.
