PS. I'm currently porting my exhaust manifold because the inside of it is so badly manufactured and needs to be smoothened out. Then I will move onto installing my two kill switches and my old viper alarm is crapping out so I bought a new Viper-5900 alarm with remote start. That's my update for today, I'll take some pictures of the manifold's guts after I port it so I can do a before/after picture deal. Later.
See, that's my point. Is it really worth buying cheap stuff if the quality is that bad? If the manifold is so shoddily designed that you have to port it just to make sure it works halfway decent why not just buy a better part to start with? How do you know the welds aren't crappy as well and that the thing isn't going to crack and blow when you put it on your engine and start using it?
Oh well, your car, your money...
