I thought it was the nut that was coming loose. It turns out the stud will not stay tight resulting in a leak. What can I do to keep the stud in tight? Would it be too hot for locktight? What are my options other than tightening it down till it breaks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

My .02C.
First get the right exhaust nuts. That looks like a lock nut. And its rusted on. On the new nuts use copper based anti-seize. That way they will come off the right way. Nut first, not stud and all. I like you just went to NAPA and put in new studs. They've been holding fine in both 914 engines and the 911 engine. If the threads are trashed you'll have to do inserts. |

That IS a copper exhaust nut. It wasn't rusted on. It came right off the stud. |
