Default Torque numbers for PPC header install?

I'm getting ready to install PPC headers, Y-pipe, RT Cats, and GMMG exhaust.

What should the header bolts be torqued to, and should I use any type of compound on the bolt threads?

If I remember correctly 24lbs and use anti-seaze.

Can you post up some sounds of your new setup? I'm also looking at the PPC headers and I already have the GMMG. Also if you could post up some before and after dyno numbers that would be great too.

Yeah it is 24 lbs, just installed my hookers about a month ago so it is somewhat fresh.

Thanks for the torque numbers, now let's hope I can get a torque wrench in there. Does the anti-seaze compound cause problems with the bolts backing out, and what kind did you use?

One more question, was that 24 lbs on a wet or dry bolt. Any type of liquid/compound on the threads reduces friction when your tightening the bolt. Don't want to get it to tight, aluminum scares me.

IIRC, 1 pass at 16, and 2nd pass at 24, going from the middle bolts to the outer ones.
