What size MM Socket for exhaust install

Hey guys, Well im finally getting my Greddy Ti-C Exhaust in the mail tomarrow.


And I'm wondering if you guys know what size the MM (I think its metric) socket size is needed to unbolt the stock exhaust, to put the new one on.

Im figuring it should be really easy with the hangars, only the rusted bolts should be a problem. The main reason I ask is because i dont even own a socket set yet


But i will be purchasing one tomarrow, so no worries.


All help would be greatly appreciated.

Start spraying them with lube today. Shoot some lube every 2-3 hours on them until you take the bolts off. That will make your life alot easier if you don't have air tools.

I think it may be multiple ones like a 14 and 17 and maybe...one other.

if you're talking about the bolts on the cat converter only a snapon 16mm would fit perfectly on mine.

16mm wrench aren't really common though. You may find the equivalent in SAE wrench or socket.

Yes, lube now! Plus, if that don't work...have a torch ready to heat them up.

Trust me, my brother broke two sockets of MINE while trying to break one rusted exhaust bolt loose. Not a fun time; prepare ahead of time like you are!
