I am going to plan ahead and get a 3' -1/2" drive extension and a 14mm impact socket as mentioned in the other demon bolt thread before I tackle mine.

darionlear · 12-06-2011, 12:29 PM

I stripped mine... gonna extract it.... I don't wanna break the cats... at 1300+ a pop, I can resell those bitches and cover my test pipes and aam axel back! Lmao...

But, man... hard core! How did you get past driver side bolt?

wowza that was extream, i had a run in with the demon bolt but i just rounded off the head of it, finally got it off with a Grip-Tite socket and a giant breaker bar, the head actually snapped off and the cat fell right to the ground. make sure when you reinstall you use anti-seize

Anti-seize for what?

for when you reinstall, if you ever have to take them off again they will come off much easier

darionlear · 12-06-2011, 05:12 PM

Run into any leak issues between test pipes and headers? I have a friend who says he has one. If gasket is n correct, shouldn't. Right?

cheshirecat · 12-06-2011, 05:22 PM

IMO, it's best to use some high-temp sealant whenever you do exhaust work. Helps to cut down on exhaust leaks.

I had a leak between the test pipe and header and needed to tighten it more about a week after install. Even though you have a gasket in there, it doesn't necessarily mean the bolts are torqued down to the spec required to keep leaks from happening. The sealant will help fill in those tiny gaps if you have any.

Done son! >=)

Demon bolts slayed and both cats in 100%.... now to sell those bitches!

1/2" breaker bar with a pipe on it and extensions straight forward out the front of the engine bay are how I got mine, def. a pain to get and adds in the worry of smacking the front bumper but it did the trick. Both of mine snapped.

darionlear · 12-10-2011, 12:49 PM

Had to heat, and after heating they snapped. LoL

Same thing happened to my install last night. I stripped the bolt head and now it won't catch with the 14mm socket. I need to get those Grip-Tite sockets. Where did you buy your set from? and how much?

darionlear · 12-10-2011, 02:03 PM
