Hi,
What is the Exhaust bolt torque for the connection between the y pipe and the downpipe? the ones with the springs, can't find it in the manual

Often that won't matter here. Even when clean dry threads that most tables want.
Exhaust Spring bolts only need to tighten enough w/ standard wrench/handle so stay there w/o wrecking the flange go into.
If the flange is used, the threads often have issues & need standard nuts or some type of captive nuts depending where/how to reach the nut.

The springs to all the work keeping the joint in place.

When tightening the flange bolts, follow a progressive torque sequence. For Y-pipes, torque them to the specified value (usually around 30 ft-lbs or 40 Nm).
