Unhappy Sheepey Built manifold/ Speed Factory Ti Bolts access

Just wondering if anyone has used the Sheepey stock replacement manifold and/ or the Speedfactory Titanium studs and had any issues with access to the top studs? Even with a decent selection of tools still struggling to get access to the top in order to torque them up, seems like a very tight fit...considering just switching them to hex nuts rather than these 12 points?

Thanks!

I had the exact same issue. Ended up just getting the stock studs/nuts black oxide coated instead

Cut the end of a old wrench so you can tighten it. Cut like I marked.

Most tubular manifolds have the same issue. I just get stainless hex nuts.

I have the speedfactory ti set as well, works well with oem manifold, but have seen the fitment issues with tighter clearance manifolds. I ended up picking up some shorter ti studs with the 8 point nuts from a member on here (pm me if you want his contact info)
