What is 47.5 ± 7.5 Nm torque?
I bought this exhaust tip for my v6
https://accessories.ford.com/v6-chrome-exhaust-tip.html and it says to torque it to 47.5 ± 7.5 Nm torque but I have no idea what this means. Is this 47.5 ft lbs? Im new to this stuff. Thanks

Why don't you just google it? Would have been much faster than waiting for someone to respond. 35 Ft lts.

Most torque wrenches will also have both scales on the handle Ft/lbs and Nm

This is very true assuming he knows what a torque wrench is in the first place.

That means you can torque it anywhere from 40 to 55 Nm

You did not need google to do the math... ± 7.5 means, plus or minus 7.5Nm
So, 47.5, plus or minus 7.5

1 Nm = 0.7 Lb-Ft. I try to remember it as Lb-Ft is ABOUT 3/4 of Nm. imp
