I have a 2005 Honda VTX 1300. I am going to install a set of Hard Krome exhaust. I wanted to know if there is a specific torque value for the bolts that hold the exhaust to the cylinders?
Thanks.

Nope, but u may have 2 purchase a power commander or if it's carbed u may have 2 jet it!
Jason, a hypercharger will only add 2 a lean condition u r almost definatly going 2 experience with your new exhaust, as it even allows for more air to enter the the engine. The exhaust will make 4 less back pressure and both of these combined will lean your bike 2 the point of ruining your new pipes! Is this bike carbed or injected? Let me know b4 u go much further!
AnswerIt should come with a couple different jets as it will still need a bit larger main jet with the exhaust. I totally forgot hyperchargers come with a jet kit! lol Give her a whirl and see what happens. However, if u get on the bike with your new parts and it hesitates, spits or pops u r gonna have 2 have a bigger main. Good luck!
