If you're asking if it's easy to install plug wires on a car with headers routed in the stock looms, no. It's not overly difficult, but you run the severe risk of burning wires if you do.

An OTVC setup is well worth the $100. I haven't burned a wire since.

Another option is side mounting. See pic. You won't have to fool with the wire looms everytime you take the vlave cover off. Again, it's $100 from Thunder Racing.

Or just save the 100 bucks and route your wires carefully.
If you want OVC for looks then thats cool spend the dough, if your doing it cause your burning wires then you need to route better.
I have Hooker LTs and careful routing and have not burned a wire in 4k miles, not even close.
