I like the stainless steel flange nuts compared to the chrome acorn nuts. After getting the HD exhaust gaskets, I plan on using the stainless steel flange nuts.

I added the new Kawasaki gaskets without using any grease. Several people told me not to use anything on the gaskets when putting them in. They were sort of easy to get in and they never really fell out when putting the pipes in.
