Installed plenum spacer, but broke these two bad boys in the process

These go here

Obviously, I over tightened these even though my torque wrench was calibrated at only 40 in-lbs!! I am returning my torque wrench tomorrow cause it sucked. Both broken at the 2nd sequence. Luckily vice grips were able to twist them out. I also found the same sized bolts at Ace Hardware and just added washers. Yolo
Because my wrench was crap I tightened them to my own version of 100 in-lbs. This was my face when I turned my car on and it didn't blow up.

100 inch pounds is what 8 foot pounds , of course it will break at 40 foot pounds. I don't bother with a torque wrench on them. Calibrated elbow with a 1/4 inch drove ratchet.
This. Everything is running smooth so far and I've put about 80 miles on it
