Default DC sports header install

How much do I need to torque the screws down to when installing the headers? I am installing them later on tonight

Thanks

I'm sure there is a torque spec for the header bolts, but I didn't pay attention to them. Just start all the bolts, get them snug, then alternate front to back tightening them up to end up in the middle. Torquing them, IMO, isn't not necessary, just get them tight, that should work fine.

Plus, you will have difficulty getting a torque wrench on the bolts in the back. Just make sure to start them all, snug them up and then tighten them.

Good luck...

Are you going to dyno this header before and after?

Mine had 26 lb/ft on the installation instructions for both the cat/collector and the head bolts.
