header bolt torque

Thanks for the replies. the bolt that i snapped was already on its' way out when it broke, so I just applied a vice-grip to it.
I ordered new bolts and waiting for their arrival. I didn't want to take a chance having one break off on the way in, so for peace of mind i am spending 1.44 per bolt.
getting the stock headers off was not as bad as I expected, I did have to hacksaw that top bolt on the pipe that goes to the cat though, that was the biggest obstacle. Otherwise all the bolts did not not need much persuasion.
Seeing that the Schnell headers are quite larger than the stock headers, i'm thinking that I might have to back off on the muffler to get the headers in.
