Borla bolts backing out?

Anyone having a problem keeping their bolts (3 bolts that hold p-side pipe) from backing out, loosening? I have had the Borla catback since '97 and as of late last season and now after my first ride this year they are loosening and thus causing a rattle/vibration? Would a thread lock last? Any suggestion as to torque specs (ft lbs)? ...Suggestions? tia

i wouldn't put locktite on the bolts. i would get some longer bolts and put antiseize on them and thread them all the way through the hole and put a nut on the back of the bolt to jam it.

I ran the bolts through the back side of the flange and used lock washers and nuts to hold them on. It is also easier to swap plates that way. only one bolt can't be run through the back. That's what I did.
