It isn't "necessary" that you use the special-shaped Saab ones, but they did it for a reason. Remember, these car companies use years of extensive research (and consumer complaints) to come up with the upgrades that they do.
I've gone the aftermarket route many times, and I probably would not have known about these studs had I not had to run to my dealer minutes before they closed on a Friday to have the studs on hand so I could install my JT 3" system that weekend. But, the fact remains that they explained to me why the studs are shaped the way they are, and I'm glad I had bought them (though, I didn't need them since none of mine came out when I removed the old downpipe).
FWIW, you may never have a problem, and I hope that's true.
