Have seen it done before and it never worked. The expansion/contraction of the different metals will cause things to work loose. The oem nuts on the studs were "crush" nuts which deformed and "locked" when they were tightened. I use copper nuts on mine if I have to do any type of removal of the exhaust. You should be able to find the studs at a parts place and since they used hex head bolts you won't even have to remove the exhaust manifold to replace them, just back out the hex head bolts and put the stud in with the nut and washer on it and tighten it down to specified torque. The stud will turn until it bottoms out and then the nut will start to turn. Couple of beers and an hour later you should be good to go. Hopefully they gave you the spacers that go on the end bolts, but if not you can make some out of galvenized pipe or copper pipe.
