Default what torque for backbox?

hey just a quickie.....putting the exhaust back together and just wandered if anyone knew what torque the clamp that joins the system and the backbox together should roughly be?

its a mongoose obviously dont want to overtighten and crush it but also cant have it coming loose on the way to ND!!!!
