It sounds scarier than it is. Before I replaced my plugs and exhaust on my Imp, the most dangerous car work I had done myself is oil changes. I spent a weekend replacing headers, cat back, cat, plugs, wires, and CAI. My Imp is still going strong a year later, with no problems at all. After you do it one time, you'll wonder what all the fuss is.

I'm 6 foot and weigh 285, "pencil arms" Is a phrase I would never use to describe my arms

There is about 10 inches between the engine and the firewall, once you figure out where the plugs are and how your arm has to go, it is easy as pie.... now if you've ever tried on a V6 mini-van......

Turn in your Grand Prix now, if you've done ANYTHING with a mini-van. Just because it has the 3800 engine is no exception!
