Default Exhaust valve question

I should have posted this days ago but it didn't hit me until I started on the removal.

Can I remove the exhaust valve motors or will this cause a problem? I know I can just remove the cables but while I'm at it I'd just as soon remove the motors too.

the next problem is that I've been to Sears and two other stores and can't find a deep socket to fit the Torx head exhaust stud nuts!

It is not a Torx, it is a twelve point socket. I believe it is a size 10 if my memory serves me correctly.

SWM101A, Socket, Metric, Shallow, 10 mm, 12-Point

Search - 12 point | Sears Canada

Just figured that out.
I just figured that everything else is Torx so why wouldn't it be too.
Would have saved me about an hour and a half of driving around and 50.00 on stuff I didn't need.

Oh well, it always nice to have new tools!

Thanks for your help!

Now if I can just get the Graves system on, I'll be in business.
