there are two more bolts under the winshield cowl. two little access panels in the plastic. just pop them off and they are under them. i found this out by doing my three rear plugs. the three plugs that i now despise after losing close to a pint of blood from my knuckles.

thanks for the heads up...found it after i posted ...but just so you know you can easily remove the rear plugs w/o remving the strut tower brace...dont try to stick your hand between the brace instead lay on the upper intake and bring your right arm from underneath around where the PCV valve is....BTW the headers are a bitch by your self....but im done....

stock manifolds back on...those are so much easier by your self then the comps....if comptech would have just used studs in the headers instead of bolts it would have been sooooo much easier
