They forget that the major reason to spend so much money was to improve flow, not shininess.
Pretty branch manifolds, which discolour almost instantly with usage. Owners fixate on the bling of shiny stainless pipes, especially their Engine power is also about smooth flow of gases in and The caster to your car with clumops of casting metal in the For that matter, notoriously the LR/Rovers come from That can easily be avpid by matching the heddars to Violent air flow coming out of the engine can crate a turbulentĬonvulence with the unmatched edges of the larger exhaust manifolds and The problem, don't do this all important work and the car is degraded. Without porting, create problems they do NOT want. Yes! People constantly pay 1000s for bigger bore systems that, Your cylinder heads and using the right tools to work them. Sometimes it is used for combustion chamber roofs for increasedĪirflow and efficiency, but that should be left to professionals.Ī good port job is mostly a function of having detailed information on Porting involves using an assortment ofĪnd cutting bits to reshape or polish the cylinder head's intake and Shape and size play important roles for power and idle smoothness withĬylinder head porting is an automotive machining processes that the
