Would that really do anything?? I think if it were professionally done maybe you will get better air flow thats about it.

that just helps get rid of carbon build up. It cant hurt. if your going to use a dremel make sure you dont take a chunk out of it. that will be bad.

PUT DOWN THE DREMEL TOOL

It's easy to get a little overzealous with the polishing. Next thing you know, your engine will run like crap. Remember, it's easy to take metal away, putting it back on is another story. I would leave something like that to the experts.

i really don't see that helping very much..
with a real port and polish they take an imprint of your header then shave all the sharp edges that the exhaust gases have to pass by...

scary thing is i actually heard of people doing it themselves. this diy isn't for the weak hearted. i always hear about people always wanting to squeeze extra little horses on our engines and i just thought that those who truely do, they could try it. i'm not even sure if it'll give you an extra power but from what i've heard you get like 1-2 even up to 4 in some cars. i myself am not into fixing this lil civic into a racer and nor do i have the ***** to touch my engine so ya i wont be trying it, i just thought someone thats really into getting every little horse power they can out of our engines try it. i mean whats the worst that could happen anyways?
