Lowrider exhaust pipes / install
I have a buddy that is putting a stock set of pipes on his lowrider. the pipes came as pipes only and he went out and bought the flanges.
now we know thw flanges go over the pipe but there must be a compression type seal to go between the flange and the flared out part. Is this correct?
and does anyone know the torque setting for the flanges when he installs?
Thanks

RE: Lowrider exhaust pipes / install
I just finished installing a set of V&H pipes on my '04 FXD. tl vette is right, the only thing that goes on the pipe in between the header and the flange is the steel snap ring that will tighten down when the flange bolts are tightend.
As far as the nuts on the flange, HD service manual for the Dyna FX models shows between 60-80 in. lbs. as the correct torque. There is a pattern for tightening the nuts as follows:
Tighten the at front cylinder as follows:
1- Insall lower front nut finger tight.
2- Install upper nuth and tighten to 9-18 in.lbs. (1-2 Nm)
3- Tighten lower nut to 60-80 in. lbs.
4- Tighten upper nut to 60-80 in. lbs.
Tighten nuts on rear cylinder head studs as follows:
5- Install upper nut and tighten finger tight.
6- Install lower nut and tighten to 9-19 in. lbs.
7- Tighten upper nut to 60-80 in. lbs.
8- tighten the lower nut to 60-80 in. lbs.
Hope this helps out your buddy.
