i just installed my new hks exhaust and i need to know how much i need to tighten all the bolts and nuts with the designated torque (if there is one)

 

Real tight...

 

LOL . . . +1

Yeah, when I installed my HKS (or any exhaust for that matter), I didn't receive any specific torque specs. So, I tightened everything 'real tight.'

It's been over a year and all the parts and pieces are still under the car . . . I think.

Enjoy your new HKS. Be sure to wipe down the polished SS parts. This will potentially prevent any burn in of any residual smudges, finger prints, etc.

 

haha alright thanks

 

yea - I didn't mean to seem like a samrt a s s..sorry...

You just need to not break the bolts or force strip them due to over tightenening. They should be made real tight though..almost as tight as you can get them without using breaker bars that would break them.

After a few weeks - it's also good practice to re-torque them down when the car is warm. The metal expands when hot - so they will tighten more after the bolts stretch a little...
