Default DIY Exhaust Install Must Have Tool

So as I'm getting ready to do my 992 CS exhaust install of a GMG WC Exhaust (A modified to fit Turbos S WC exhaust), i've been getting all my tool together. A an ex-mechanic, i love tools and know just about anything you can think of, exists. The install of the 992 exhaust is pretty straight forward with the exception that it's a little tight on space in some respects; in particular those pesky cat V-band bolts. And so I'm here to share the awesome tool i found, just for this application. I initially tried other options but non was as easy as this tool. Best way to use it is (see pick below) and throw a long socket and rachet on the other end. Once it breaks loose, you can keep using the hex hex key or work it manually from the threaded end if it's loos enough. Hope this helps!

Anyway, just trying to add value to the 992 community, hope this helps some of those DIY'ers. Also, my next steps are to: Cerkote the 992 GMG WC Turbos S Exhaust, trim back the necessary amount on the tips, get new Ti clamps and Hardware and install. Will post the process

Or turn the bolt from the bottom.

I can’t imagine it’s cheaper than the double nut (M8 x .125) method?

Super cool, thank you. I love having the proper tools to work on my cars.

I'm wondering if anyone has tried to use a die grinder to flatten two sides, 180* apart, such that a small open end wrench might work. (see below marked in red) Sometimes these sorts of bolts actually have a hex at this end specifically so that a six point socket can be used. I haven't looked at mine, but I'm guessing Porsche didn't see fit to specify that kind of a screw for these clamps.

That end of the bolt is already flattened and can be turned with a crescent wrench. The only caveat being needing to get it broken loose first.

I changed my exhaust when the car was brand new so managed to break both sides free just using vice grips on the part you highlighted red.
