No. That's not how heli-coil works. It's not going to allow better torque of studs, as it's not very tightly attached to the bored hole you have to drill to insert the heli-coil.

Heli-coil falls under the category of compression fittings: absolute junk that actually takes longer and costs more than doing it the right way.

It is always better to drill a stripped thread one size larger. New threads are always preferable to inserts, ESPECIALLY on exhaust, where sealing is critical.
