KY

feel dumb but figured out what it was.
i had parked it in the grass and underneath it the grass had grown up and well long story short i was smoking grass
that and my exhaust needs to be tightened up a little more and torqued.
what ft. lbs. should i torque the exhaust bolts at? like at the headers to the glasspack the glass pack to the mid and so forth?
