Stick a mirror there to see if the stud broke off in the head. Dont want to scare you but my car had this issue when i bought it. I have seen it personally and read about them backing out completely also.

Techno- great to hear. I already ordered parts from pelican but the washer will take forever, so I will call them tommorrow and get the nuts from paragon (pelican doesnt offer) Here is paragons write up, which sounds like what you are taling about. I will do the mirror check in the morning. I really appreciate your help!:

If you've ever removed the exhaust system from your car, you know it requires a bit of a balancing act in order to put things back in place. Not only do you have to hold the exhaust in place, but you also have to somehow manage to install a washer and nut on each stud. Delicate at best, but we can help! Our Cooper 8mm Exhaust Nuts have a built in flange that acts as a washer by distributing the nuts torque over a much wider area. The 12mm head gives you more room for a socket, and these nuts are self locking to boot! And of course, because they're copper, they'll never rust. "
