I did that method this past spring, when I got new header pipes. They
haven't even started to come loose. I don't think those threads are easily
strippable by hand/arm strength...I almost toppled mine off the centerstand
while tightening them. The only problem I know of with the exh. threads are
when the nuts are left loose for a long time, causing them to vibrate
excessively, destroying the threads.

I've used the silicone on the threads on the right side nut since it seemed to be the only one that would come loose. Worked very well but was a bit messy when taking it apart; the silicone stuck to everything. Bruce '72 Eldo Kevin Graf wrote:
