I just bought a stock exhaust manifold that i can use to port since mine is messed up anyways.

I think i need to use carbide dremel bits to port it but im not sure.

anyone got any advice?

im not looking for real power or sound gains, i just figure while its off i may as well try opening it up a bit. since the one on my car has a broken dp stud.

hey ill grab ur stock one when ur done. just offer it to me first. no shipping FTW

 

it needs to have one of the dp bolts drilled out, or maybe all of them lol

 

im also doing this, and am curious as to what i need for bits.

 

lol alright thts fine... i think

 

how about you buy 6 studs and 6 bolts from ced and give me 3 studs and 3 bolts and you can have the manifold

 

Edit:
Read title wrong... my bad.


Word of advice... carbide bits get clogged very quickly...
Use a drum sander and lots of 80 grit drums to finish it off.

 

i have a lot of the drum sanding drums, maybe i'll do that

 

carbide tips are what work best for taking off material. I never liked how well the stones worked, but you supposed to use them next, but i just mainly go from carbide down to heavy grit drums and rolls depending on 1/8" or 1/4" bits. Then to lower grit sanding wheels and then flapwheel (i usually stop there) and if you're really bored you can get some super fine polishing wheels and ****.

A professional rotary tool is recommended, i finally destroyed my second dremel cause they just don't have the power to grind for long periods of time. Plus 1/8" carbide bits take forever to take off material. I now have a bosch die grinder with both 1/8" and 1/4" collets, but still find myself in need of a snake extension that worked well with the dremels.

 

i got an el cheapo black and decker one, if i burn it up, i'll go buy another one. it cost only like 20 bucks.

 

dremel's suck you need an air drill to do it quickly.

 

i have one of those at work also
