Any benefit to porting exhaust manifolds Trying to make power and stay legal. I don't want the smog ****'s breathing down my neck. Was thinking of porting some 2001 exhaust manifolds and then have a custom pipe made using highflow cats. Unless someone alreadt makes it. What do you all think?

I did search Cragar and found nothing about ported exhaust. If you have a link, I would appreciate it. Otherwise your comment is pretty useless. Only shorties are legal in Texas. Long tubes are not. At least not in Williamson and Travis County. Inspectors in some parts of Texas just tend to overlook things more frequantly but that may change in the near future.

**** the Police and **** Emissions -- -- BUY THE LONGTUBES
J/K .. haha
I think youll get better results with longtubes but if your afraid of not passing inspection then you will probably get good results with porting.
Good Luck

Post a link to the vehicle code that says that, otherwise YOUR comment is useless. I live in Williamson, used to live in Travis, currently work in Travis, and think you are wrong.
I have 6 vehicles, 3 with long tubes, and never have longtubes been an issue during inspection. The presence of cats, yes, but longtubes, no.
