Well, they're NOT copper, they're copper plated steel. Porsche NEVER used lock nuts of any kind in any location on any exhaust system on any normally aspirated air cooled production engine. You're only increasing the likelihood of broken exhaust studs somewhere down the line. I don't care what you saw on the internet, what you read in a magazine, or what the salesman told you, they're all wrong. Porsche has more engineers than they do, and would have used locking hardware if they saw any benefit in doing so. After all, they've been at if for 50 years, and that's long enough for the need to show up. (Hint: It didn't.)
