Torque needed on catback bolts?

Does anyone know the torque needed to attach the two bolts on each side of the catback pipes connecting it to the H pipe?

Also, since my c5 is new, do I really need to get a new exhaust gasket?

thanks, Geoffrey

How much torque you got?

I don't think there is any specified number for it. At least I haven't seen one.

Yes you can reuse the gasket. They are actually pretty nice gaskets.

Shop Manual says 37 lb-ft.
Page 6-1027, line 6.
(I have no idea what tolerance they assume.)
