exhaust is not like a wheel lug

torque to tight/bolt bottom out
I run it hard and retighten everything 'tight' as new gaskets get squished after burn in

So here's the update: The Axlebacks are being built as we speak. They were able to get enough parts to be able to order the 25. These axlebacks will be getting shipped soon!

if anyone in the groupbuy is in the central va area, i've got the non-offset axleback on my car currently and would be willing to give trade that to you now in exchange for your offset axleback from the groupbuy

instant gratification anyone? lol

Mines been on for a few months now and I just slapped it on... No lift or torque wrench needed. Took about 10 min.
