Default Tp Install question

This may be a stupid question but when installing my test pipe should I use anti seize or anything ? Also should I torque the bolts down to anything specific ?

I didn't use anti-seize when I installed mine. And I didn't torque them, just made sure they were tight, similar to what I did with my exhaust install. No leaks and no issues other than the CEL for the O2 sensor (waiting on Invidia to send me the fix).

Yeah I didn't torque or use anything on mine either, or my last 3 exhaust systems and havent had any problems. Just tighten it up good and it will be fine. If a bolt is giving me problems while removing it, just soak it with WD40 and let it sit for a while, then try and it usually will break loose easier.

Use PB Blaster then use your foot to kick the socket wrench if you really can't get it off.
Mine was so rusted on we had to take multiple kicks after giving up using our hands.
