Step up a size in bolts and you can also add red loctite. Or you can try using studs with nuts. Just use some JB Weld on the studs. I went up a size and that seemed to work for me pretty good.

so did u tap the holes for the new bolt size? what size are u using?

I went as big as the hole in the exhaust. And I use the bolt to tap it. You can either do that or use a tap.

High temp threadlock will work, as well. Make sure the threads are super clean before you add the threadlock, then let it sit for a day to cure.
