Question:
Was told by a mechanic that he would need to remove the exhaust manifold to install the katz kh 11812 heater. And also the cord would not work because it would melt on the exhaust manifold.

I checked with Kat's regarding the installation of the Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater - Cartridge Style # KH11812 that fits a 2012 Hyundai Genesis 3.8L V6 and 4.6L V8 engine and they did not have any type of information that said the exhaust manifold would have to be removed to install this heater. They will state if those type of steps need to be taken and there are none for this vehicle. The cartridge heater needs to be installed in the "Right Rear" position, as you can see by the cut out I added. Also, the cord will not melt so long as it is kept away from any hot surfaces.
I've added links to a couple video reviews of this heater for you to check out as well.
