I do. DiscoMike said they updated some software on this site so the pics arent coming up. I have PM DeepBlueWater yesterday to see if I can get the pics, or if he could upload them again. If he sends them my way, I will be sure to forward them to you as well.

I would love to get the pics as well... This is still on my to do list as part of the 60K service. I was even considering leaving the old wires because I could not see taking them off without removing the manifold. The wires are stll in ok condition, but I would like to replace with Magnacore as they seem to be the favorites here. If you get the pics, please feel free to pass them on to me...

Thanks!!

I had a 2001 for a short time and changed the wires without removing the IM. I have large hands and did it in about 1 1/2 hours. I removed all of the wires and then installed the lower bank first and then the upper bank. I still had a misfire and removed them and reinstalled again to make sure they were correct. The second time it only took about an hour. The pictures will help you. I found it harder to remove the old wires from the coil pack than installing the new ones.

Last night I helped another site member install his new Magnacor wire on a 03 with SAI, didn't pull the manifold, just a couple of pipes and it fired up just as smooth as could be, so it can be done, even without the pictures.
