bolts holding the stock airbox in place. I am installing the SHO K&N cold air filter. These bolts have a strange star head. Where do I get a socket to fit this crap?

It is called a Torx bit. Go to any autozone, pep boys, etc and buy one. Or your tool of choice of course

Speaking of which, a friend of mine has $5K+ worth of Craftsman stuff that he buys at garage sales n stuff, then takes it back to Sears for new stuff.  Every couple months, he'll head down there with a garbage bag full of old rusty Craftsman stuff then bring home brand spankin new sets.
