Just one question, if I put in locktite, will I be able to open the bolt later when I actually need to? So far I have always used the locknut technique to prevent this, but I am not sure I can use the locknuts on the 55ax stock muffler as there may not be enough space

Yes you can loosen them. Locktite - like the name suggests - gives you a better "lock". It has something to grip properly against and which then gives pressure - assuring a tight nut. It does not "weld" the bolt to the nut. Well this is how I have always seen it.
