hey i just did a search and really didn't find what i was looking for. i was offered a pair of fully ported manifolds. i was wondering if these would be comparable to the headers as far as sound and performance gain.i assume by port he means gutted cats and each exhaust port is machined open to the max. what do you guys think?

Headers are better for overall gains, as the design is much more optimal than the stock manifolds, however, if headers are out of your price range then what you got is good enough.

While this topic is up, would an average exhaust shop be able/willing to port them? just outta curiosity.

The average exhast shop does not have the equipment to do any port work. You would have to go to a specialty or machine shop.

it costs about 20$ and 1-2 hours of labour to port them yourself... all you need is the right bits for a run of the mill drill.... if you have a die grinder even better... either case do it yourself....

Puck, any how-to's or instructions on porting then ourselves?

 

[Archangel7772001]

so puck at that point with a full port job done on them what can one expect?

 

[PuckPuck]

a few more hp... the more "other" mods you have the better the gains

 

[eurocrisp]

im sorry... this post is about gutting precats, right?

...what would you need to cut with the die grinder?

a how-to??? simply take a grinder and remove any excess metal you can get to in order to allow for better flow...
