I just put new pipes and I am not sure how much I should tight the exhaust bolts near cilinders. In cobra pipes manual could not find any info.
Also I found some oil drops inside one of the bottom screws? Does it make any sense?
Thank you for any answer

I wouldn't fret the torque too much I was thinking about this as well when I did my install and didn't even end up using a torque wrench. Just do not over tighten because you can actually turn the bolt itself too far into the engine block and break it. But you would have to go waaaay too far for that just be careful and you will love the result I know I did. Also replacing the gaskets is highly recommended. Some guys say you don't have to but I did and always have on other bikes with great results. Good luck!
