lol, you obviously have never ported a HF manifold, the metal shavings get everywhere, I mean everywhere, in your sleeves, hair, socks, it just sucks. I got a cast iron double cut porting bit from the house of tools, thing cut though the metal like butter, I still spent a good 5 hours porting that manifold, they have much to be desired.

I gotta agree with Spencer on that one..they do suck, and the ---- gets everywhere I use a titanium cutter, cuts ok, but doesn't eat through it as nicely as aluminum though. I spent probably about 3 hours on mine and set it to the side cause i got sick of metal shavings all over, but i'll finish it when i actually get the turbo on. Never really realized how small those runners truly are :P

I've ported my cx manifold, used a die grinder, i even ported the head a bit hehe..does the hf manifold have dinky ports or something? The cx didn't need to be ported out that much.

When i say porting i mean portmatched btw.

Port matching only takes a few mins vs fully porting the manifold which would obviously take alot longer.

I say port match the ****** and call it a day.
