Hello all I was wondering if there is a torque setting for the exhaust pipe that connects to the exhaust manifold.
I have ram horn exhaust manifolds. any help appreciated

James, if there are 3/8 inch studs they will handle 40-50 ft/lb. If they are 7/16 studs they will take 60-70 ft/lb. IF THEY ARE NEW. If you have rusted studs of uncertain age and strength I would just tighten them till I feel resistance, then a bit more, then start it up and check for leaks and if necessary, tighten a little more till you here the leak get quiet. Last thing you want to do is break one off.

Thanks Dan I'm using 3/8 bolts so i figure the torque is the same as the studs?

 

That would be right. Grade 8? Put some anti seize on them no matter what you use.

 

Thanks again
