The Test pipes are effing bolted on the turbos with 12 point star bolts! WTF are they all like that? I have the Greddy TT kit. I have went to 5 different places and no one has the socket to get the effers off. Any ideas????

Shouldn't be that hard. Check Home Depot/Lowe's and your local auto parts stores. One of them will have them.

A set of the Star 12 points in Metric? or just a regular set of 12 point metric sockets?

If so I will give them a call, might just do that anyways
