Mr.Damon,
Stainless studs with brass nuts will not corrode together.
Stainless on stainless will in time lock together, as will stainless on
steel.
Brass nuts are the best for removing
They will always come off whatever you put them on.
But, if you over tighten them, they can strip easier than steel, so one
must be careful using them.

Good Evening,

Fred

Why, in particular brass nuts? Is there something wrong with using
stainless hardware (both studs and nuts) for the exhaust manifold (or
anywhere on the engine, for that matter)?
Thanks,
-Damon

perhaps a few studs if your's look bad.
