Has anyone tried these exhaust studs
A UK firm with stainless exhaust studs for aircooled Porsche and VW applications. They're a little cheaper, but more importantly I would think the stainless might hold up pretty well. I don't know if there would be any metallurgy concerns between alloy heads and the stainless.

Stainless steel set screws - good idea. Probably pricier than regular ss studs. I'd still use some anti-seize on the threads.

Be careful with the VAT and shipping from the UK, it is very high. Also, unless this alloy of SS is made for extreme heat, I would run away. Most common SS such as 316, 440, etc. will gall after exposure to heat making removal of the nuts very difficult.
You might be able to contact the seller, if he specifies A2 SS (don't tell him - let him tell you) then you will be fine. Good Luck, Mark

Normal stock studs hold up fine for many years, and with less risk. I wouldn't put stainless together with aluminum.
