2103 Exhaust System Nut Torque Specs?
Thanking you in advance...for 2013 base C6, does anyone know the torque specs for the 4 X-pipe flange nuts (front inlet of x-pipe), and the nuts on the x-pipe clamps (at the exit end of x-pipe)? Thanks...

This is what I used on my recent LS7 swap...
- Cats to Intermediate pipe: 18 ft lb
- Intermediate pipe to muffler clamps: 32 ft lb
I doubt the LS3 specs are any different. If they are they're so close it's within the tolerance of the torque wrench.

From my 06 Service Manual: Front intermediate pipe nuts 12 lb-ft, Rear muffler clamp bolts 32 lb-ft. Note: for LS7 system the manual calls for the front nuts to be 18 lb-ft, rear clamps the same at 32 lb-ft.
