Here are the manifold cuts that I recommend. Use a bi-metal blade with either a hack saw, saber saw or sawsall. Use plenty of oil.

 

This manifold has ~20k but no cuts. It cracked on the bottom and the crack continued to the turbo mounting on the top. Surprisingly there was no loud exhaust leak.

 

These pics are from my current manifold with over 35k & 4+ yrs old. 10-15psi and some flogging.
