Throw some 12-18 inch extensions (turndowns) on there. You'll feel better. Your low end torque is suffering.

Headers=EASY spark plug replacement, especially when compared to the stock manifolds. I doubt your fingers even get dirty.

Should be easy now with the headers in.

Only thing I disagree with is the BJ part. I say get one before and after.
