Need to use for reference:

Has anyone, at any point, ever experienced the BOLTS from their exhaust heat shield, backing themselves out to the point they fall out?

Even if the answer is no, please post so. And if you have an aftermarket exhaust installed. Thanks!

stock and no....but now I am going to double check...just get some screw thread glue and just put a tiny drop so you can back it out if you need to.

Stock exhaust, no bolt problems. I was just under there when I put in my RS4 RSB, and it looked good.

Use LocTite Threadlocker! The blue stuff! You should use it on all screws and bolts subject to heat/vibration/movement on your car, etc.
