Before any flaming occurs the only reason i ask is because i had to do that to install on my Z and it was an expensive pain in the ass.

Should be a piece of cake. Since it's a boxer, all the exhaust access will be on the very bottom of the engine. Remove the aero pan and BAM, there's everything. |
As Rye pointed out, it's quite easy. Taking the headers off my WRX is painless, especially since I cut-out a slot for the A/F sensor in the heat shield.
People talking cams and headwork though...that's not so fun. That will require dropping the engine. For instance: valve adjustment on EJ powered Subarus typically runs ~$1000 due the requirement of dropping the engine. Another example: spark plugs are pretty much in the fenders, requiring dexterity and small hands (otherwise enjoy your cuts/bruises). First time I did plugs I think it took me 2-3 hours.
