Nevermind got the combo. 15 mm deep socket and swivel and 8 inch extension.

One of the nuts from the x-pipe to header connection is gone.

Did the stud break? You can buy new studs for pretty cheap and they are easy to replace, sometimes you need to heat the manifold around them get them out but it's easy work.

Nope, it didn't break the nut was just gone. Had to go to Lowes and get a new one. I forgot how much of a b&*#@h it was to get to the passenger side header. lol

Yeh. I've since added the billet winglets. Someone broke one of my winglets off

Same thing happened to me. I knew I had a leak and just figured the nut just needed tightening. What I found was the nut was gone. So I went to Lowes and got some spares. Problem solved.
