In the car? Good luck fitting a torque wrench in there. I just crank them down with a wrench and then retighten them after a few heat cycles.

I can bearely fit my skinny hands around the headers, especially my long tubes. Just use a new gasket and torque from the front to the rear and again by hand as much as you can.

Yeah, walk in and ask for "exhaust manifold gaskets" or "headers to head gaskets," etc. The workers at autozone are more of a dumbass than you'll every be :wink
