This might explain difference in cost between the two. The 2.0 nut is used and the copper is new. Note the copper one has elongated hole.

Okay, so what's the proper replacement for the originals and install procedure? Sound like the copper PLATED ones aren't recommended for fear of stripping the threads that receive the exhaust stud.
And if a regular nut is recommended, what should one use to keep it in place? I recall Jake recommending milk of magnesia on the threads. |
