Nice. There any downside to doing this? I've seen that we shouldn't use stainless in the exhaust mani. Anything else like that?

Question for you Nut/Bolt Gurus. I recently experienced a galling issue w/ installing SST bolts & nuts (did not use any anti-seize).

Im guessing, when installing these SST bolts, we are not inserting them into a SST nut so galling should not be an issue. Am I thinking correct

Be SURE to use an anti-seize lube when installing stainless fasteners into aluminum to prevent electrolysis corrosion.
