what are the specs of the exhuast and dp ...one of the very common reason a downpipe would back bolts out is tension dude to the over haul on the engine moving back and fourth as you drive...

do you have a flex pipe on your dp? if not its a worthy investment that will reduce stress on the piping,

with a stud kit it i bet it will never backout again

i use to have this problem my dp would back out like 2 times a day

hopefully this will help you
