Amazing enough, with all the problems I had during my header install, I did not take out the plugs and was fortunate not to break any.

Cracked one and snapped one off, both on the passenger side.

It's all of about 15 minutes of work to remove them. I used the opportunity to go ahead and replace mine since I was already approaching 45k miles. I know it wasn't needed, but what's another $60 when I've already dropped $2k on engine upgrades...

I took mine out during the install. It just gives you a couple more inches to work with, and if you don't replace them ( I didn't ), it sure beats having to replace them afterwards.....But I did replace my exhaust gasket. Phil |

Yup...pull them out or replace them later
Even when you're careful it's hard not to inadvertently bump one with a header, and that's all it takes.

I actually hung the passenger side header on a spark plug during install till I got the first 2 bolts in. Same thing I did 30 years ago. Gotta be creative when doing install alone. Never had a problem with plugs, just gotta be real careful.
