Best thing to do is leave it alone..unless you want to get involved with snapped exhaust manifold studs etc.

The time to worry is when it starts making so much noise it is obvious from the cab, then be sure you may have to fiddle on with possible broken studs when renewing a gasket.

Unless you have access to heating equipment to heat the exhaust nuts up prior to removing them, then I'm afraid you could snap the studs and may have to resort to letting a garage repair it.
