Bullets install questions? (Torque specs)
Hi everyone,
I'm getting ready to do a Bullets installation when my kit arrives Monday, and just had one quick question. I found a great step by step walkthrough that I'm going to use for the installation, but it doesn't show any torque specs for bolting in the new pipes to the stock H-pipe. (My coupe is a 2000, bone stock, so the new pipes will mate to a factory H-pipe.) Has anyone done this install recently, and can you comment on how much torque you put on the bolts, hangers, etc?
The only torque specs my walkthrough has are for bolting the stabilizer bar back in, in case you decide to remove it to make the install easier (take a look at step 14):

I checked the forum sticky showing the weights, measurements, etc., but didn't see torque specs in there. Also, apologies if links are not permitted -- if I need to remove that, I certainly will do so (moderators, please let me know.)
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
-Mike
