How is not used as a relative pronoun any more. Instead, that or Zero is used. Since a manner adverb can't be the subject, it can always be deleted as a relative pronoun, and that process has gone to completion with how. It's almost there with why, which can only appear as a relative pronoun in clauses modifying the noun reason. If you're looking for a free-relative substitute for *similar to how S, try similar to the way (that) S.
