Brent, you need to add the word 'relatively' to your EASY statement. That last one on each side can be a biotch! Still, replacing the wires should not be avoided as carrying the power you need to a sensitive engine can make all the difference in the world. I've found that removing the heat shield and plug shields on my Gen II made it much easier. I added in nomex shields on the wires when I removed the stock heat shields from the headers and wires. Been doing fine with that setup for 3 years now. I'm running GTSR wires (they came with the car), but Ab's wires have been what everyone turns to for many years!
