Thanks fivefinger! That is extremely helpful. A couple of follow-up questions:

1. How long does it take to replace the intake gaskets (I'm assuming both upper and lower)? Is there any specific video you'd recomend for the GT (I found a few but they don't seem overly helpful). I've never changed them so I am a bit apprehensive. Anything else I should check/change/replace while I'm doing this?

2. Is it true that the backseat has to be removed to replace the back struts on the 2005? How difficult is this?

3. Any other mods that I can make to improve acceleration and/or fuel economy? I'm not looking to spend hundreds of dollars...just small things.

Thanks again!
