ZZP Uppercharge pipe install question

How tight should i tighten the clamps that connect the new pipe to the oem rubber ends, gm specifys 44 inch pounds for the claps on the
I/C and Turbo. I know I probably wont get a torque spec on it, so basically should they be tighter than the ic and tc clamps, the same, or looser?

Tighten them a lot, your gonna think that it's tight enough but it's probably not so keep tightening them

You can always go back over and retighten them weeks or months down the road too

We use clamp-co t-bolts, they won't strip or break unless you tighten them with a 1/2in impact. Just tighten them with a 3/8 drive rachet until the feel tight. The pipe won't crush so you will get a good feel of how tight they are.
