Just replaced my spark plug wires
got myself the 8 mm wires took about 2 hours to do without removing the intake manifold
I was afraid but it's actually not bad
Hardest part is getting the wires to click in to the coils but overall it was not bad

Well done!
I have SAI and I don't think ie would be possible. I pulled the intake plenum and also replaced valve cover gaskets at same time as plugs/leads.
But I didn't change coil packs and still have a misfire. So another gasket and coil packs on order. There is always a challenge.

I have the sai as well just remove the tubing behind the intake and you will have good access. Body position is important you have to lay on top of engine looking down into the coil very visible

I have SAI as well and did it with all in place. It was a PIA but as redwhitekat said, lying down on the engine is the key. It just doesn't look that good when your wife comes in the garage and sees you humping your engine.

Agree! I will never do anything in there that's involved without removing the hood!! It is so light too! I'm just not tall enough to put it on the roof by myself with the lift and bigger tires.
