Maybe have the manifold gasket areas re-surfaced while its off?. that is what I typically do.

Also make sure the manifold is up to date with the latest TSB on it to ensure it does not break exhaust bolts. Here is some info for this:

And of course, everything needs to be properly torqued to their correct values to prevent bolts snapping under high head loads too.
