Lol it was fun, hardest part was just maneuvering the manifold from the harness. I replaced 4 of the direct injector connectors and some of the port injector connectors. Oddly enough I ordered the exact amount of connectors I anticipated I might break. Taking off all the supercharger piping wasn’t fun though.

you're gangsta... I wish I had that much technical knowledge to do that! Well done!

I figured out there was no need to disconnect the port injectors. I did one of them, then realized the whole harness disconnected at the back and left everything else untouched. The one I took off broke for sure. The retaining latch snapped right off like nothing when I went to remove it. Same thing happened with the direct injectors - the retaining latch on one broke, the rest were fine. I used stork pliers to ever so gently remove them, and I found they made a very slight click when the latch cleared the retaining ramp on the injector. Regardless, it was all super brittle and I call myself very lucky.
Good work! Any tips on the spark plug change? I need to do mine soon.
Just patience and having the right tools. Oh and a nice beverage Everything is tight so you'll have to get creative in how you access some of them. Straight forward overall, just don't drop the bolt that holds the coil in like I did. It happened on the 8th one too, just my luck.
Still way easier than the rear bank of a transversely mounted v6.
How was the exhaust install fitment etc?...mine should be here today/tommorrow
Install was straight forward. Had to trim the both tips but no other issues. Mine cleared the round cross brace but barely so I spaced it .5" anyways to avoid any banging.
Key is to put it together loosely, then jack it up and tighten it section by section from front to back.

You made the right call to space it. On my last IS-F I used washers to space it down slightly when it was up on the lift, but on my current one the guy at the exhaust shop just bent the bar a bit with a prybar while it was bolted in place. Cleared when up on the lift, but as soon as the rubber hangers settled on the way home it was banging harder than a hooker on a public holiday. Ended up crawling under there myself when I got home and spacing it down. It's been silent ever since.
