Default tool to be used

i have an atp high flow stock location mainfold on my car and im having trouble trying to get all the nuts tight were it conects to the engine, is there any special tool or advise other then get a new manifold to help me get all the nuts tight, since it is pretty much a stock bord out manifold. i can reach some nuts but not all of them so i am leaking a little, im not able to get a socket or a crows foot on them to tighten them.

he's definitely talking about the exhaust manifold....

your best bet is a socket wrench with those coupler/knuckle attachments GL!

you gotta find somebody with small hands and give them what quattroa4 said and the job should be pretty much done lol. or you could take a trip to binghamton and we can meet up at upstatenya4's crib. he's got 95% of the tools an audi would need

Yes, arif had this problem when installing his. He ended up getting smaller nuts.............. Same size, but not as bulky... Know what I mean?
