it looks easier because the first thing we did was took the hood off, alternator, coil packs, plugs, wires, AIR hoses then the manifolds are right there.
We did this all while the car was hot so literally the manifold bolts came out like butter.
Both headers went in from the top with a little twisting and fancy angle work. The driver side, we pulled the steering shaft nuckle bolt and pushed it aside and it went right on down. Pretty easy.
