Downpipe/Exhaust torque specs

speedstyle · 06-23-2006, 09:10 AM

Could anyone tell me the torque specs on the Downpipe and Exhaust?

I tried to do a search and came up empty handed. I also looked in the 04' STi service manual posted in the donating members section but I believe the exhaust section has been corrupted because it doesn't seem to work. So if anyone has these torque specs, I would greatly appreciate them.

-26 ft/lbs for the turbo to downpipe
-13ft/lbs for the downpipe to center pipe if its a spring joint (has springs on the bolts).
-the other joint 35.4 ft/lbs.

Side note: my aps exhaust didn't have a spring joint so tightened all the joints (except turbo to downpipe) to 35.4ft/lbs.

the dp to turbo...just make as tight as you can without breaking anything.
mine came loose like three times now because they need to be really tight.
