Hey everyone, I'm installing my ark exhaust atm and Im not sure what torque the nuts need to be at. Also the package comes with washer and a round ring type thing. Do we put the washer on the bolt first. then through the exhaust parts and another washer then nut or is it just bolt washer, put through the exhaust and then nut. Also where does the circular ring thing go?
 
for the washers or the circular rings im guessing it should go behind the nut. In the picture below (different exhaust/car) it goes behind the nut

Exhaust bolt torque should be hand tightened as much as you can, don't over tighten

Bolts should be bolt and washer on one side, then the other end is washer, lock washer, then nut

The circular things should be gaskets, place the gaskets between the connecting parts of the pipes

Hope this helps!
 
So day two of putting on the exhaust and Im having trouble with the alignment to make them even. Im able to move the mufflers left and right but no matter what the right side sags. I tried redoing the x pipe and the resonator ones but it just ended up looking the same. when the left one is turn on its right it hangs low enough but when i try to center it it raises up. Im thinking the rubber grommets are maybe holding one up to high and maybe i should try to stretch the one thats up too high so it hangs lower. Also the one that is sagging more sticks out a little bit more. Any tips guys?

Im gonna try to rotate the x pipe a little bit.
