Default Tightening

Does anyone know the torque for tightening lugnuts, nuts and bolts connecting headers to hpipe, and if I should use Teflon tape or anything on the threads for the o2 sensors?

Page 212 of the owners manual. 100 foot pounds for the lug nuts.

If it were me, I'd put a little nickel anti-seize on the O2 sensor threads.

Not too sure about the others because I've never messed with them. If you have a performance shop in the area, I would call them and see what they recommend.
