Default Best Method For Installing New Pipes

A buddy of mine is putting on new exhaust. He is installing V&H True Duals, using his V&H oval slip ons.

I recall I heard somewhere you should torque starting at the Exhaust port on the heads, all the way back to the muffler. This was the best chance to avoid any rattles or leaks.

Can any of you offer constructive feedback.

It may be over thinking, but that is usually something I don't get accused of very often. Thanks for your help-

I just did the job with my stock exhaust to make room to gain access to my clutch cable. If you follow the manual and take your time, it is easy. I put the gaskets in the freezer and used soap and they went in easily. Good luck.
