YPIPe install help, please

i got the heat shield stuff off, my two problems are that there a piece of chasis in the way of the back header collector bolts, what tool do i need to get in there and what tips do you have to get to it?

also the screws connecting the pipe to the headers are to long for my socket wrenches (the long screw keeps the socket from being able to grip the bolt) what tool or tip do i need to get the socket to reach the bolt?

You need "deep well" sockets for the header bolts and I highly recomend you use"6 point" sockets, can't say what you need for the collector, but the right combo for extentions and a swivel should get you in there
