It's been a few months, but from what I remember it was very straightforward. Just loosen and remove the aluminum skid plate and the 2nd under body panel to access the manifold.

The only bolt I had somewhat of an issue with was the bolt that sits right above the flange for the overpipe. That was a bit of a tight squeeze, but a swivel socket will make your life much easier on accessing this bolt.

Really the best advice I can give is disconnect the O2 sensor wire connectors before you do anything else. They're easy to forget when you're unbolting the manifold, and the last thing I'd want to do is stress those connections.
