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?

Re: Torque numbers for PPC header install? 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.

Re: Torque numbers for PPC header install? 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?

Re: Torque numbers for PPC header install? 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.
