Intake Horn Question

[jjack]

Can someone give me the torque specs on the 4 bolts attaching the air horn to the intake. Also, is the gasket reusable. Geno's left the RLT bolt out on my order and instead of waiting on then to send it I am just going to tap the air horn.

For an oem air horn 18 ft lbs.

Intakes like the ATS and Banks are considerably less like 10-13ft lbs.

the gasket would be reuseable IF you could get the horn off w/o tearing it. I just replaced mine because they got torn when I took the horn off.

when i did mine, i just went snug [i rarely torque non critical components] and my gaskets were in good shape so i reused them [i had some blank gasket paper and silicone on hand if i did fubar one of them]

Thanks for the help. I got it all worked out. The gasket came off intact and I have it installed now. It will pull a steady 30 lbs with no fall off which is unlike my previous '05 that would hit 32 and then drop back to 26 to 28 when the waste gate opened.
