Steve,

To answer your question, no, you do not have to drop the engine. It is a tight spot but accessible if the car is jacked up. Better if it is hoisted. I do swear that this part took the longest due to it being so tight. Maybe if you have the right tools/socket wrench to get in there to take it out, it would be easier.

I saw no decrease in power but rather a better sound and more power in the higher RPM range. She seems more lively. Then I added a GHL exhaust and now she is sounding really nice IMHO.

Anyway, good luck with the install.
