Adjusting the JCW Exhaust Tips

Does anyone know if there is a special tool needed for the adjustment nut on the JCW exhaust tips? I want to adjust them slightly but a 7MM hex does not seem to sufficient.

I think you need a wrench that makes lots of sparks to get that off.



Make sure that pipes are cool. After last Saturday they may still have some heat in them.

Actually it is 3mm. Thanks for getting me to think differently. When I looked at the bottom of the exhaust tip all I saw was the larger hexagon nut. It did not occur to me there was a smaller hex screw in there. Thanks!
