Brass nuts are fairly soft so may be the split washers work there way
into the flanges of the nuts thus loosening them up. You may try SS nuts
or a steel washer between brass nut and spring washer.
Another possibility is that the lock washer loses its tension because it
gets to hot.
I am not a lover of split lock washers anyway as they damage the surface
of the nut and the item that is bolted down. I always prefer the smooth
but slightly bent ones (don't know the proper name for them)

<div>Today, I had to tighten the 6 nuts on my exhaust down
pipes. This is the second time in 2 years I have had to do
this. What is causing the nuts to work loose? Each of the 6
studs from the exhaust manifolds has split lock washers and
brass nuts on the down pipe flanges. Each time time I have
tightened the nuts, I tighten them until the nuts squeak.</div>
