The valves are probably looking pretty gunked up and the car definitely feels slower than it did when I got it.

Fifteen minutes easy. 30 if you really take your time. A few extra minutes if you have the strut brace. The back bolt on the intake won't pull out until you pulled the intake up and forward. I held it up with a small clamp. Till I could pull it out. I didn't have to take my intake off completely. Just lifted it up enough to feed my endoscope in to look at the valves, but that was still almost all the work. I just didn't remove the strut brace, and lift the intake all the way off.
