it a pretty simple install... just spray the exhaust manifold bolts with wd-40 so you dont break the bolts

YES...use a lot of WD-40 or PB Blaster on the manifold bolts. They are going to be a PITA to break loose.

Watch the passenger side bolts... i would spray with the pb plaster and start on that side first. Just dont wanna snap those darn studs off the manifold

As stated, soak those studs and nuts with PB Blaster from the top & bottom sides. Let it soak a good half-hour before you start in.

Collect plenty of socket wrench extensions and swivels...you'll need 'em. Just take your time, be cool, and you won't break anything.
