Default Exhaust Manifold Torque Specs

Is there a torque spec sticky somewhere for our cars? That would be super handy.

I am looking for the torque specs for the front exhaust manifold bolts. I am swapping out to a power log today and I would like to do it right.

Thanks!

My repair manual says to torque the exhaust manifolds at 15-24 lb ft.

Thanks! I've been reading 11 lb ft. on google and that seems very light.

Does it mention the order in which to tighten them?

No problem. A particualr order isn't specified, but I would start with the center bolts and work my way out towards the ends. After the engine has been brought up to operating temp I'd let it cool then double check the torque.
