Post is a few days old but 34 Ft/Lbs seems a bit tight Bud into aluminum with small bolts. Dodge shop Manual (for an 03 Hemi) is 18 Ft/Lbs. You might be able to use a torque wrench with straight on manifolds, but for the hassle (unless engine is on the bench) forget it especially with headers so I totally agree with Weed. I use a stubby wrench from underneath and after a couple of heat cool cycles I was good to go.
I called two different stores that confirmed it is 34 ft lbs. Thats what i tourqed em to. Seemed ok hope it lasts. Got the tourqe wrench in there with minimal room
