So the Lindsey unit will seal better than a lugnut? Any other benefits? Presumably its steel instead of aluminum?

Mine had the flare part of the tube siezed to the exhaust pipe. I ended up cutting the tube to get it off and using vice grips to get the tube out of the exhaust pipe. I plugged it by using the nut that was on the tube and making a "hole-less washer" of 3/32 scrap metal and sandwiching it between the cap and the fitting on the exhaust pipe. Seals fine and no leaks.
