Whoa, whoa, whoa....I hate to disagree, but in normal situations the red thread lock (Loctite) is good to use, but not on the Trapp exhaust disks. Not with the combination of heat. No, no, no.
If you ever want to get those stainless steel bolts loose again, you need to use copper anti-sieze on those threads, very liberally!
If you don't use anything, they won't come out easily anyway, but if you use Loctite, they'll never come out without breaking all of them off and maybe damaging the muffler too.
I think the original problem here was a matter of torque. The fact that the Hoghunter had this problem is unique, but that isn't the solution...shoot if it were a real serious issue then "safety wire" would be the best fix to keep the bolts in place.
Sorry.
