Does the intake need to be removed to change plug wires? If not, is it a big pain to do it with it still on?

It can be done..i have done it. I fortunately have skinny wrist lol so it was easier...there is just enough space for the ratchet to fit on both sides..well at least for the mtx..not sure about the space issue with the atx...

Just remove the intake.
Youll be happy you did.

Been there and done it just recently. It sucks, but it can be done.
I ended up taking off the intake to check out some other problems though. While it was off, I re routed them so that they were nice and neat.

it can be done without taking off the intake, but it down right sucks! the intake just takes a few minutes to take off anyway. and while its off why not clean and port it? thats what i am doing today, lol

Yeah, I'll just take the intake off then. Is it a pretty straight-forward task, taking it off?
Another question also. Do any of you guys use any kind of sealer when you put the intake back on or rock gaskets only?

I did mine with the intake on. But it wasn't very fun. I did most of it at night too...lol
I've done 5 sets (2 ATX, 3 MTX) without taking the intake off and didn't think it was that bad. I have never wanted to remove the intake without a good reason I guess. 1st set took about an 1 1/2 but can do it now in about 1/2 hour. It is easier if you remove the clips from the coil end and reinstall them when you are done then they fit right through.

my new wires came with the little plastic clips that go to the coil pack...
I remove them so the wires fit through the tight spots better.

ok, I see what your talking about. I just routed mine after plugging them in to the pack.

Well, I got'r done today. Car runs like a dream now.
On another note, there is no reason the intake should ever have to come off to change plugs and wires, you just need study where stuff is at and take the few things off the back of the intake that are there and bam, plugs and wires with the intake on, no problem, and I'm a noob at this. For those wondering, I was able to run them in the exact same routing too.
