Don't waste your money really.I know they look bad *** but dollar per horse power is not worth it.ported stocker is the best bang for a buck.but if you really want one,map performance offers affordable exhaust manifolds.

I'd say to port yours until you're ready to spend some money on a nice decent tub mani

I wouldn't even bother with ARP hardware. Get the oem one sent out to get ported, it will come back cleaned up as well. Put a new oem gasket, new oem exhaust manifold nuts, and torque it to spec. You don't have to, but I went a step further and replaced all the studs with new oem ones as well.

I run a map short runner on a 20g TD06SL2 and it spools super fast and feels great. It has turned black discolored after a year, only gripe. I'm going to try some stainless polish to clean it up tho unless someone has a better idea.
