I think the 14mm works but a 9/16 does fit also, I had to use the 9/16 and an Impact gun with 1/2" drive, 32" extension to break the top bolt free this is the bolt that you have to get from the top which is right behind the intakes. When I used the 14mm on this bolt it seemed to be spinning a little bit, the 9/16 fit a little snugger on the bolt and actually worked. (future reference for anyone)

Buy extra nuts and bolts and expect to snap the heads off of 2-4 of the stock ones.

well yeah and if you bought new cats or tp chances are they supply them, it might be a good idea to go to a local store and pick up the same size stainless steel bolts though to help prevent rusting, but yeah I think I really got lucky without having to cut any of the stock bolts, I would suggest using an anti-seize lube on any nuts going further
