Yes....for two or three bolts the Allen socket is easier to reach with an Allen wrench.
The Stage 8 Exhaust Header Bolts have 7/16 inch hex heads with a 3/16 Allen socket in the center. I use a 1/4 inch socket wrench with a swivel and several extension lengths as required to tighten the Stage 8 bolts. I do not use a torque wrench as that would be next to impossible to accomplish with the tight spaces around the Headers. I also use a 7/16 flex head ratchet wrench. Typically, the torque for an 8mm bolt would be 19 ft lbs.
