Bolt Tightness?

[Justin]

Bolts, nuts, whatever... what should the tightness, or torque, be for the downpipe to the exhaust housing? I just pulled mine off so I could get the wideband put in and they were loose... not free spinnin loose but not much pressure to a wrench loose

snug..then a quarter turn.

for me i just tighten them down until they wont tighten anymore...LOTS of torque on them...

this way no exhaust leaks

tight is good, but for most things you dont really have to gurilla them on there. just tighten in down, you should be able to feel whats tight enough.

great idea...until you realize the bolt isnt getting any tighter and you are stripping the threads off. yes i have done that...... but yea tight as hard as she'll take works for me
