Oh and it is at 86000miles and i still have the stock exhaust manifold too, car runs perfectly good, feels smooth and fine, but im going to get a header to replace the stock manifold with.

nope
butterfly valve problem was 03
precat was 02

you can still check it though. But if its fine now it probably still is.
it only takes about 15 minutes to pop off the top of the manifold.

or maybe its me because i have already done it like a dozen times

Hmm poping off the top of the manifold? You mean the exhaust manifold?

You mean poping off the head and check for the butterfly valve right?

He means popping off the upper intake manifold and checking to see if the screwsfor the butterfly valves are still there. While you're in the I'd suggest putting red loctite on the screws.
