Since it's such a high heat application use the high heat sleeve retainer thread lock. Tube looks just like the blue except it's a gel for high heat.

It's an easy job, you should be able to do it yourself.

I was talking about where the exhaust mounts to the cylinder. Or wait, are they slip-ons?

Thank you for that WingNut! Will they be hard to remove? They have been on , stock , for about 11000 miles. If I try with my socket set any danger of breaking them off? Or twisting the threads?

Soak the Nuts First and Loosen a Little, reverse and repeat until there off.. 1/2" semi deep flex Socket and 1/4" drive works best for us.. When Installing the new pipes DO NOT Over tighten the Flange nut's you'll crush the Gaskets .. Use the Standard HD Gaskets ..( Screaming Eagle Gaskets Suck ) Get them ( Flange Nut's ) Good and Snug, Then a quarter turn.. Run it a day and re check ..
