Just looking around other car forums and seen a few nice FTOs with this mod and I was wondering how far off were Mitsubishi when it comes to matching of the plenum -> intake -> head runners/ports as well as the engine -> exhaust manifold?
I was thinking that this may be a worthwhile mod if Mitsubishi did a pretty bad job on the intake and exhaust manifolds.
Is it also worthwhile to do a slight polish to remove casting dags etc.?
anybody done this before that would care to explain if they had any good improvements?
how much $$$ am i looking at doing something like this in Sydney?
Intake & Exhaust Manifold matching - worth doing?

The castings are as good as any mass produced cast item I spose. Mine was done before I bought the car so I cant give you any specific gains as such, but I have seen the comparison with stock items. You would get some minor gains out of it. Steve (smorrison) had his done by UAS, Im sure he would have some before & after figures.
Pull the bits off yourself & take them to a workshop - not much more than few hundred bucks I would think...
