Does anyone know if this is normal? When I torque down the Bolts that connect my Dump-Pipe (aftermarket in my case) to my Mid-Pipe (stock), the springs tighten so far that they fully compress.
The service manual says 18Nm, which is what I did. But how are those springs supposed to do anything, when they are fully compressed like that??
It seems to me that they are compressing too much, but that's to the factory torque specs.
