Yeah I got all mine out from the top except #7, but the car was already on ramps, so it wasn't too big of a deal. I just used a ratchet and socket for #8 if I remember correctly. #2 was the one I thought was a pita.

HAHAHA, on my buddy's '96 WS6 I could still see the casting number the next morning on my forearm!

DAMN STOCK MANIFOLDS SUCK! It's especially hard to get to some of them with the dual-cats, single cats are more spark plug-changing friendly.

Unless you can get rid of the y-pipe without breaking manifold bolts. (we couldn't!)

same here with the #8. I was able to snag it with a small socket and adapter.

I am in the process of doing the pugs and wires. From what ive done so far it seems that the wires are the most pain in the A$$ than the plugs themselves, especially on the passenger side. Any tips on changing wires and leaving the new ones on the stock location? Passenger side ofcourse
