    Has VAST or anyone actually conducted any testing to determine potential gains from this product?

    no one has, far as I know. as its obviously true, not something you can easily swap for dyno runs, hahaha. The amount of material that is ported is relatively insignificant. I think any performance gains you are going to see, are going to be from a cooler engine bay and therefore cooler IAT and longer lasting engine pieces. I would think that the only place you would see a HP improvement, would be way way up high in the revs, where the smoothness of the transitions and such are more important and their effects exaggerated. I would guess, 5whp near redline, maybe ever so slight better spool, but I think thats quite optimistic. Every bit counts, but this isn't something u want to pull your engine for.

    If your thinking of buying coated manifolds, the small price to get them ported is worth it IMO, but I certainly wouldnt do it if you werent pulling the engine already.

    1whp difference could also just be the difference in pulls without changing anything, LOL

    Im sorry but after pulling my engine and looking at and in the stock exhaust manifolds i wouldn't even bother messing with them. they are worthless piles of crap. and there really should be products out. But there is absolutely nothing. the stock exhaust system is a horrible design all around. Your wasting your money porting the stock manifolds.

    Well, I guess the manufacturers of this product have no data for us.

    Doesn't hurt to try.
