Default best bolts for high heat?

turbo kit i have came with all stainless hardware, not sure if i am doing something wrong but these bolts will not come out, i end up breaking most of them off and puting in new one's. the bolts i am talking about are the 3 on the crossover tube going to the turbo header and the 3 on the down pipe conecting to the exhasut.

the 3 factory bolts on the cast manifold side just come right off. it is really odd because some of the bolts just come off by hand and other are just stuck.

should i use antisiese on the bolts or is there a diferent material of bolt i should be using?

You should always use antisieze on stainless hardware with turbo temperatures. They like to glue themselves together

But the stainless is better for the temps, just lube them up
