Which tool is recommended for downpipes

Hi,
I want to know which tool is recommended for the downpipes, It seems that I have no chance to remove them with my normal wrench because I have no space to turn the tool...which tool is recommended ???
Thx

to disconnect them from the turbos?? I used a standard box wrench, and IIRC you can get a normal socket wrench on like 2 of them.

If your talking about downpipes not pre-cats.. First spray wd40 or another rust remover, etc. then you can use a combination 13mm wrench on the nut holding the downpipe to the turbo, then use another combination wrench a larger size putting the box end into the open end of the 13mm at a 90 degree angle and then you can put some torque on the nuts to loosen them..
