I just got mine snug, then did another 1/4 turn and drove for a while and let it cool and re-torqued them.

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.
