Just make sure both flanges are straight, and smear a little wheel bearing grease on the flanges and tighten it down.

But if you do the way I suggested, you won't have to worry about exhaust leaks.

WELD THE NUTS.
dsm guys dont use studs and nuts like nissan's, they have bolts that run throught the manfiold and into the exhaust housing. i would imagine the dsm turbo flange bolts being alot stronger then 8mm studs. SPOT WELD THE NUTS i will agree with.
