    So i spent the majority of my weekend porting, polishing, and heat coating my exhaust manifold and downpipe.

    The titles of the pictures have the high level instructions.

    great. i took it out last night. i ended up staying up till one working on it. the butt dyno could definitely tell a difference in throttle response and spool up. welll worth all of the time it took. i didnt put my dP on because i endedup copper wrapping that last night as well and i dont have the sealant spray yet. i'll throw up some pics of the dP wrapped here in a bit.
