stainless downpipes

[Dead Eye]

Makes sense regarding the nuts - the new stainless steel ones I got were actually slightly longer than the OEM ones so are doing their job well

My set of pipes came with the new copper ring gasket things as part of the package. One tip I found to be very helpful is to use some Petroleum Jelly (like ordinary vasoline) to rub around the new copper rings and it will hold them in place in the outlets as you get the new pipes in place. Hopefully that makes sense, any excess jelly will burn off and it will help to make a decent seal
