Default How hard is it to change the plugs w/pacesetter LTs?

Just wanted to know if the plugs are hard to change with the LTs before i go thru the trouble of getting a set.

Thanks.

Yes headers make changing plugs much easier.

Just wondering about the long tubes. The mid-leangths i have make it really easy to do all the plugs from the engine bay ( 20 min). thanks.

I can change all mine from the top, takes me about 20 minutes. even easier if you have those wrenches that slant in.

pacesetters typically seem easier to change on the passenger side- as compared to a hooker header. but they are a little bit more tricky on the drivers side.

either way, there's no way in this work I would voluntarily change plugs on something with manifolds- I can't get my hands down between the manifold and the fender well on the passenger's side at all!

lol... I think you could put the headers ON (not including taking the manifolds off) quicker than you could change the plugs on a stock car with manifolds!

With the right tools and after doing it a couple times, I have it down to changing my plugs in about 15-20 minutes, I just helped a buddy do his and he has manifolds and it took longer then that just to get the #8 out...
