Had to remove the last section of tail pipe and ready to reinstall. Flange bolts are 10mm x 1.75. Thinking 50 - 55 lbs. Any one know? Anti seize on threads? Thinking leave them clean. Thanks, Jim
 
Sierra Vista – that brings back memories.

There is a mark on the bolt head that indicates the strength of the bolt. There is a chart in the service manual that relates bolt strength and size to install torque. Flange bolts have a different value than bolts with washers, so look for that.

NevrSeize on all exhaust fasteners; coat the entire thread area and get it into the nut. Always. Every time.

This is from the 1995 service manual; use it for all bolts that do not have a specified install torque in the manual procedure.
 
If your bolts are 6T rated, you need 32–lb·ft, unless the manual indicates differently (I haven't looked).
