To get to the driver’s side exhaust manifold bolts, you need to remove the PCV lines. You should remove the plug wires at this point too.
Here is a close-up of the PCV lines.
Now the exhaust manifold flange bolts can be removed.
On the passenger’s side, you have to disassemble the fuse box and move it to the side.
Once the fuse box is disassembled you can easily reach the exhaust manifold bolts. This is actually easier than it looks.

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.
