thanks. what did your torque your stuff down to? service manual looks like 11 ft-lbs for studs and 22 for bolts on stock headers. Didn't see any criteria from Tony on those in the instructions.

most of the studs will come out when you do the install. when i did my install i didnt take the nut off the stuff i just put it back in the way it came off and didnt run into any problems at all. just be carefull you dont crossthread anything
