I'm finishing my lindsey 3" exhaust but I can't figure how much do I torque the 3 nuts that secure the flange and copper gasket?

I don't know id Lindsey has a spec on that... but M8 threads (13mm head) should be torqued to about 15 ft. lbs. unless otherwise specified. Which, on a hand tightening scale, where lugnuts are a #10, that would be about a #2 or #3.

Really 15lbs for those 3? I would have thought much tighter, it's an 18mm nut. But if the studs are 13 and that's what is spec'd then so be it.
