Default How much torque to apply...

To the Spugen bolts (at the flange)? Not the cat...

Thanks!

tighten it till it strips, then back it off a quarter of a turn.

These are not "load" holding bolts, so don't worry so much about exactly how much torque to use. Besides, usually exhaust nuts and bolts get subjected to water and cycles of heat & cold. They'll get tighter with time anyway. If they are the same size as the cat bolts, go with that torque. If smaller, reduce. If larger, give a little more.
CJB's relpy is as good as any.
