if its the same as Stillen and Cattman Y-pipes, the 2 holes on each pipe is for the 02 sensors. You should use a special tool or a 22mm or 24mm wrench works too but im not advising you to use that cause you can strip them. Once stripped you'll have fun taking them off.
I just finished removing my Y- Pipe about 4hours ago,
in 15 degree weather with snow on the ground.Anyways it's a pain in the but {which was frozen solid seriosly, hehe} and can get bloody real fast.As for removing the o2 sensor I just used one of those adjustable wrenches and pushed really hard and snap....smash,yep my hand is bleading ouch,atleast I loosened it.I recomend you use a pair of work gloves to avoid smashing your hands on stuff,also you need a 14mm deep socket wrench with extensions.The 14mm Bolts are practically invisable though so I recomend spraying it real good with WD40 before you get started{which I was out of},then after getting a wrench on the bolts I used a large pipe for TQ and it made the Bolts budge finally sheesh! I have to take it off my I30 tomarrow too oh god haha.Have fun!
