Default HEADERS AND INTAKE MANIFOLD QUESTION

is there a certain way to bolt these up to your engine or pretty much you just bolt it right on without any concerns.

thats right.they are direct bolt on..and intake manifold is a bit complicated cause the fuel rail..injectors..etc..other than that..direct bolt on.yes

I think the OP is looking for torque specs and the torque sequence.

Usually the rule is start by snugging them hand tight, then go half of the final torque, then the final torque. Start in the middle and cross outwards. As for how much to torque them to I can't help you my manual is at the other shop.

I was thinking about purchasing a new intake mani. for my 92 civic si. I already have a set of stailess steel headers on it, but my main concern was whether or not the amount of money i would be spending on an upgrade like that would be worth it? How much of a difference did you feel after you were done? Any regrets?
