Default Hondata heatshield installed...

My Hondata heatsheild is installed on my car. But I am worried everything isn't tightened down well enough. For those of you who have done it, you know how hard it is to get to all the hidden bolts with a U-socket and tighten everything down. When I turn on my car what should I be looking for as far as if anything was done wrong or not tightened enough? What would be some indications of bolts not being tight enough?

if it falls off you know it's not tight enough... lol if you tightened 3/5 bolts correctly and 2 of them tight but not to spec you will be fine..

Usually if the intake manifold isn't torqued properly there will be a vacuum leak which can cause the car to idle high or idle surge.
