Question Header Bolt Reinstall

I have the RRM headers and im gonna do the install soon but i read something about a pattern for tightening the bolts?? Is there a certain order that you have to install the bolts and if there is can somebody tell me the order? Could someone also post a picture of which bolt to tighten before the other. Thanks!

You really should invest and get yourself a torque wrench. I picked one up at Autozone for $20 - try them or Harbor Freight Tools.

Circular motion from the inside out. If I remember right it's something like 14lbs/ft on the 12mm ones and 22 on the 14mm's. I'm not sure I recall correctly, but a torque wrench is DEFINITELY the way to be, especially on any gasketed bolts.
