@RoverPA Yup it will. It is a bit of pain to work around but you can remove the studs on that hold the SAI to the upper intake and replace with bolts that helps a bunch. I have been trying to figure a way to relocate the aluminum tubes at the back of the engine compartment, no good plan so far.

Yeah, if you don't want to ruin the tubes, to remove large nut, then welding is a good option. Only thing that becomes regrettable, is you lose the allen head fitting in the center...makes spinning them out easier than using a 18mm wrench on that square section. Was fortunate, had a coulpe old sets of SAI tubes that were cracked...so cutting them to remove large nuts was an option. But, if you don't have an extra set...welding works.

It's a special thread for the heads. I think it's 5/8 fine thread. The tool to thread a plug isn't worth the cost.
I welded the end of my SAI plugs. Here's a video of me welding the ends. I'm no pro welder but it didn't leak exhaust.
