Default Steeda CAI Torx Bit

Hey guys, I just got my Steeda CAI + Tune in last night and can't wait to install it! However, I know I don't have a torx wrench, so I was wondering if anyone with this kit can tell me which size torx bit is needed to do the install. I know it's on the instructions, but I'm at work now and a guy is going to bring the wrench in tomorrow, so I would appreciate if anyone could just look on their instruction sheet and let me know the size.

Thanks a lot!

P.S - I did RTFM, I just don't have it with me

I think it was a T10. I don't really remember. You can buy a whole set of cheap torx bits from Pep Boys for about $10.

Agree on just buyinga set, you will probably need them for other things.
Don't agree on getting a cheap set, always buy good quality "Made in USA" tools.

When read this I thought it sounded big, but it turns out this is exactly correct.

Torx wrenches are neither heavy, bulky or expensive.
Just'him' them bring an assortment for T10 thruT20.
Problem solved.
A small screwdriver will work in a pinch for CAI torx screws.
The thin flat blade nestles in the star patteren of a Torx just right.
