Umm.....the manifold is defo worth cleaning. The EGR you could do on in about 30mins but the manifold will take a while longer. It's just a pain getting to the bolts as they well placed to give you enough of a work out trying to crack them all! I say do it...you will be surprised how much sh!t comes out of it all...

I was doing the EGR delete at the same time so I cannot say. Give yourself 3 hours to do a good job. Pressure wash would be ideal but I didn't have that available. Oven cleaner, scrap as much as you can out then rinse with water/pressure washer then spray it loads of oven cleaner til its foams out of the pipes.

Then rinse/pressure wash and repeat as necessary.
