You sure the OE is copper plated? All the exhaust nuts I've seen are solid copper. Flanged solid copper exhaust lock nuts aren't difficult to find. There are plenty of online sources for these.
You do not want a regular nut and lock washer. It will fuse to the stud, and next time you attempt removal, it'll snap the stud off. You do not want this.
