Sorry for the threadjack OP =)

Not sure about the V6, but on the GT, it is really easy and should take less than 5 minutes to remove the throttle body from the car to clean it... Atleast when I cleaned mine, I was done before I knew it...

And the MAF is a simple matter of spraying. I prefer to not scrub the MAF like some folks recommend on other forums.

By someone I meant a certified mechanic and no I do not have any mods at all (yet).
