Default CFI lid removal?

I went to remove the top lid on the crossfire manifold and removed the bolts along the outside edge and it still won't come apart. What am I forgetting to remove to get it off? Pipe

The TBs are held onto the lid by three bolts. If you will notice, the two female threads that receive the bolts holding the air cleaner base to the TBs, are hex shaped. Those are two of the three TB bolts. The third is at the rear of the TB. The hex portion is to remove and install those two (per TB) bolts. The one outer TB bolt for each TB threads into the intake manifold base and sandwiches the lid between the TB and the base. Two more bolts and you've got it.

RACE ON!!!
