Ratchet, Extensions, 15mm Deep Socket. LOTS of PB Blaster penetrating spray or WD-40 if you cant find it. Soak the **** out of the bolts. Soak them multiple times, and let it sit before you mess with them. THe lower bolt on the manifolds on the passengar side is the tough one for alot of people, me included. After it didnt budge at all, and rounding it out, i had to take it to a muffler shop to have the bolt removed. The guy heat it up with a torch, and it came right out. Its also alot easier if you have a friend with u... those midpipes are heavier than you'd think.

ur gonna want at least 12 inches of extensions..and a 1/2 inch ratchet-passenger side is a bitch and dont forget about clipping the o2 sensors back up to the headers-small hands are a plus to creep into that area of the motor.
