Hi I just got some CNT downpipes and a y-pipe. Could someone tell me the torque specs for the various bolts and nuts? Also any tips for preventing exhaust leaks?

I installed a y-pipe with new gaskets but put on a thin layer of high temp gasket maker. Now I have an exhaust leak that you can only really hear on a cold start and goes away after a min. I got some new gaskets for the downpipe but is it ok to re-use old gaskets (1 month old) for the y-pipe? or should I go to the dealership and buy some new ones?
