Ported & coated stock exhaust manifolds *results posted*
*UPDATE*
Dyno and flow bench results posted in post #70: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...post1588742517
I have a shop that I've done quite a bit of R&D work with in the past on other platforms and they're interested in porting & coating a set of OEM exhaust manifolds, providing flowbench data along with dyno results, and then if the gains are there begin offering them for sale. They a paying vendor on other Internet Brand forums and would likely do the same on this forum if there is a market for these. Just looking for a show if hands if anyone is interested in a product like this, or if I'm the only one! I personally like the idea since it's a direct replacement, no extra noise, reduced engine bay temps, and OEM durability...not to mention slides under the radar for warranty purposes.

AGP does nice work, best intercooler on the market for the Evo X if you ask me.

I'd be interested in seeing results for this and pricing.....don't really want to do headers on this car and I have often wondered if this would be viable. Let me know, I'm a buyer.

Sounds great. I'm passing this feedback along to the shop as they want to make sure there are others interested besides just myself before they allocation the resources to get it done.

I am much more interested in seeing before and after CFM (air flow) than dyno results, btw.

Makes sense, and I'll get that data for you. They'll have it on the flowbench before and after porting. I've done a lot of manifold work, intake and exhaust, with them in the past and their attention to detail is second to none.

I too would be interested in that data. To maintain the "stock" appearance of the manifolds vs. headers, in California, would be of benefit to many seaking more/better performance. And would, hopefully, keep the "smog natzi's" at bay.
