Hey guys, I just replaced my front exhaust pipe (between the manifold and the cat) and I'm wondering how much I should tighten the bolts. I've read online between 17 foot-pounds to 23 foot-pounds, and I've also seen people just say to tighten the flanges down all the way so that they're touching. How much should I tighten them to avoid a leak? Is it better to leave them a little bit on the looser side, Or should I just crank those nuts down super tight? Thanks!

crank them down tight, not super tight. you dont want to break them. you are stressing over something very minor. just tighten them to good and snug
