just use the same stuff you used to clean your TB.

Guys, don't worry too much about the crap that's inside the manifold itself. The buildup you get in there will not affect engine performance, and it adheres to the walls well enough that it's not going to come off in chunks and hurt the engine. Now as for the throttle body, there's enough flow inside that relatively small area for buildup to cause some slight performance degradation, especially at low throttle. Just clean the throttle body every 30K miles or so when you go to do all your other 30K interval mainteance tasks.

You could clean the entire manifold but I'm just saying there's really no point in doing so, as you won't get any improvement.
