Anybody know what tool I need to remove the engine braces on an M50i? I can remove bolt for sure , I'm just not sure of the other end. (Star shaped?)

Get yourself a set of torx head sockets. Pretty cheap at places like Harbor freight. Probably a good time to get a set of torx head drivers also.

Thank you! Will do. Obviously I'm not super handy.

He might be thinking about clearance for making Piggy Back tuner connections.

Anyone have the part number for that snazzy f95 engine brace bar, and know if it can be retrofitted to the g05?
