You can unbolt the downpipes from the exhaust manifolds next.
If your car has them, remove the carbon fiber chassis reinforcements. Although you don’t need to remove them for the removal of the downpipes of the exhaust manifold, they get in the way of installing the headers.
Howard is removing the downpipe to the exhaust manifold bolds with a rachet wrench with a long extension.
Now the downpipes can be removed.

With the future intake manifold, will you also install a larger TB to match too?
As for tune, HP Tuners? Or something else?
We are keeping the stock throttle body for now. We will be using Church Automotive Testing for our Tuning with HP tuners.
I have a set of Hooker Blackheart Shorty headers for my 08 Mustang sitting on my workbench. The flange is warped on one of them, I am dropping them off at a shop to be sanded flat this week.
Did you guys have the same experience? Or check the flanges for flatness?
It’s kinda weird because they are water jet cut. Not likely to warp as is possible with plasma or Laser. They are pretty thick to warp from welding as well.
What are you going to use for plug wires ? My ppg on the driver side in the back was hard to get back on I think I might need 45° plug wires.
we were using oem with no issues.
