Default Bolts !!!

Is anyone having trouble with bolts on the turbo flange and downpipe rattling loose? Mine rattles loose everytime after some hard driving. To my horror my downpipe nearly fell out with just 2 hanging bolts out of four holding it (2 had fllen off) on when I heard a gas leak and checked it. The bolts on the turbo flange also work themselves loose even after tightening them. I get so paranoid now that after everytime I drive it, I gotta pop the hood to check every bolt to make sure !

What can I use to make sure these ***** stay in place and never ever come loose?!?!
