Default Exhaust torque

Swapping exhaust soon. What torque do you tighten them to? Just ballpark. My big torque wrench is hosed and want to see if my small one will cover me.

The tube clamps for the mufflers gets 50 to 60 ft.lbs. per the book.

Tighten the rear bottom to about 20in-lbs, then tighten the top to about 100-120 in-lbs, then go back and tighten the bottom to 100-120in-lbs. Now repeat this step on the front cylinder exhaust.

Warm the bike to operating temps, maybe ride for a short period, let it cool and check torque again.

Maybe another post without enough info, I guessed the exhaust question is asking for the tq setting at the cylinder, if it is a question about the muffler clamp, then on my bike it is 38-43ft-lbs.

Maybe you could give a little more info, like exactly what you have and what bolts you want to tighten.
