Exhaust stud torque?

I just installed the Power dual on my FLHX the other day and i want to make sure I have it torqued properly. Theinstructions did not have the spec for the exhaust studs. Does anyone know this off hand?

Most of the manuals say 120 in/lbs which equals 10 ft/lbs....
I usually go and torque them to 13-15 ft/lbs....
Usually torque them and run the bike and then recheck when cool...

X2. I put my pipes back on the other day after changing my clutch cable on my Wide Glide, and torqued them to 10 ft. lbs. By the time I'd ridden 20 miles, the pipes were coming loose.
