For $50.....might as well. SSAUTOCHROME on Ebay.

Here's the difference between the stock ported o2 and unported Ebay o2. Even after significant porting, the stocker is not as wide-open as the Ebay o2:

Here's a close-up of the Ebay o2. There's no material on the inside of the walls, and if you port the openings, they would be larger than the gasket openings, at least on the one I received.
I got it from Buschur Racing. They are selling these units pre-coated for you and have them on the shelf. You order it, and they send it right to you as long as they have them in stock.
I got it once and installed it. I regret getting it and installing it. Its not worth the trouble unless you are pulling out the turbo for upgrades. My o2 housing was giving me bad readings on my front o2 sensor. PO134 code all the time. I thought it was the 02 sensor but it was not. I put the stocker back on and the code went away. Besides all that, it does not have the stock bolt area that holds the 02 housing onto the motor. This could result in a broken header or other peice of the exhaust. I would not do it again.
