I called in yesterday and it looks like i was one of the last to oder the pre-order manifolds. I was advised that I would have to wait till mid or late january before it arrives. I asked about the hardware issue as well and was told that it will fit with your stock 9 hardware but the hardware kit is recomended for the best fit and longest lasting results.
So the hunt is now on for a skunk 2 intake manifold to match the FP exhaust manifold and get my spare injectors installed. Lets see if i can finally get to that 400whp fast road road/track day tune with 93oct pump gas.

Mikes ported and coated, Amber told me she expects for the manifold to get back to Fp on Jan 6th for porting and inspecting. Projected to get it mid January.

Received and installed mine today. Mine is ported, but uncoated. It looks like a great quality piece, every bit as nice as their DSM manifold (which is one reason I bought it). Their $100 port job didn't impress me though. They ported only about 1" into the runners and turbo flange/plenum. Next time I'll save the money and do it myself.
The bolt kit came with 8 OEM turbo washers. It doesn't seem right to use double-stacked washers on the bolts. I could see it on the studs, but don't really know why anyone would want to do it. Maybe someone here knows.
Overall I am happy with the manifold and glad I ordered it.
Mine came packaged exactly as the one posted above.

^^^Interesting that the $100 port job is only an inch or two inside the holes. Could have sworn extrude honing was just a tad bit more and go the entire insides. Extrude Honing...who does that anymore? Google is your best friend!!!
I guess the option to add the external wastegate is coming down the road.
