Default Mac exhaust keeps rattling loose

So did the Mac headers, mid pipe, and cat back. the only cat back I could find is the one that comes in 4 diff pieces, not the 1 solid piping, and for the passed 3 weeks I have had to go under there and retighten the bolts cause after 3-4 days the leaks pop up again. I have locking washers and nuts on top of the studs they gave me, on top of putting locktite on them also. Anyone else have an issue with this?

I had MAC headers on.....in less than 6 months, they were rusted and kept coming loose.....

I will never buy anything MAC again...[:'(]

I have BBK headers now.....they are a year old, and they look the same as the day I bought them
