93 1200 sportster exhaust nut torque specs please help
I have a evo 1200 engine on my 93 sportster and I lost two nuts off exhaust pipe that hold flange onto engine good thing I had it bolted on tight to mount cuz it was a close one for a engine rebuild lol so I didn't torque them last time but I think I want to this time around lol please help me with torque specs so I can get job done and not have to worry about it I have drag pipes and I got some nice copper crush gaskets this time also because the mesh ones I used last time were ones that came with the exhaust and they leaked from day one

The spec is 96-120 inch-lbs.
If you want to put an end to the nuts coming loose, I recommend ordering a set of these ARP nuts. They have elliptical threads which are self locking.

Torque wrenches are inherently not accurate at either end of their range.
For 100 inch/lbs, you ideally want to use something like a 10 - 250 inch pounds torque wrench, so that the torque you're trying to achieve is somewhere closer to the center of the torque range of the wrench, rather at an extreme end.
