V-Clamp on turb downpipe!

Just a quick question, does anybody know what the torque spec. is on the V-Clamp? Im installing a magnaflow exhaust and can't remember how tight the clamp was when I took it off. Thanks in advance

I tried to download the chart, but it wouldn't transfer properly. The turbo charger to down pipe clamp is 80 lb-in.
Let me know how it was to install and how you like it. I am getting ready to order the same one for my truck.

Thanks, The install actually went relatively easy. I think the hardest part was getting the downpipe back on, I was doing it myself. A helper would really help with this part of the job. I tried something I read about on this site, which was to use a bungee strap to hold the pipe while I went back up top to try to attach the V-Clamp. This worked pretty well. The rest of the install went easy. It took me about four hours for the whole job by myself and I spent alot of time adjusting everything. I really like the sound of the magnaflow it seems
a to have a little deeper tone a idle but sounds good when you get on it.
