remove the coil packs/rail assembly with a 10mm socket and this allows you to remove the last bolts from the top. A ratcheting wrench from Sears really helps too and should be no more than $8. Again, the key IMO to a smooth install is the removal of the coil packs.

Well it's all off now, just trying to get the pass side header in... any ideas on how I can get it up even higher? my jack stands are maxed out =p. Does it go in from the bottom or the top? I bought a new set of stock gaskets, since they said they were the best, correct? Any help would be appreciated .
. Long tubes go in from the bottom.
Did you jack the entire car up and put it on 4 jack stands? That will give you a little more height. I have some big stands so I dont have this problem. You can pick them up pretty cheap from Harbor Freight.

I put the car (tires) up on solid cement blocks when i did it. and after the jack couldn't go higher i put it on blocks too. the big jack stands should be enough though. Just be careful. And both headers should go in from the bottom.
