copper nuts for d/p??
a local vw enthusiast suggested that i use copper nuts to replace the existing one i had, since i needded new ones i decided to ty them out, they were only like .39 each, he said they were self locking and wouldnt back out. just trying to see if others have used copper nuts instead of OEM ones.

Copper ones are great for the exhaust since they are more corrosion resistant than stainless-steel. More importantly, they aren't as stubborn to remove since the copper doesn't "fuse" as easiely as stainless-steel.
Mercedes uses them on their exhaust manifolds, hence I use them too on my RX7
