Tell me if this was ported or just crap job?

I bought this a month ago and on inspection I thought porting job was trash. I asked a couple dude I trust they said its barely done. What say you?

Post pics of the exit. Through one of the runners it looks like there is a shinny part that was ported on the exit side which is actually not a bad thing that they left the runners untouched. If the manifold is port matched to a cylinder head and then put on a different cylinder head chances are they won't be lined up anyways. As long as they removed most of the center divider and step for the ring gasket that's the most important part of exhaust manifold porting

Thank you.

Doesn't really look like much if anything was done to it, you would need to clean it up and shine a light in there to really tell though.

I agree. Doesn't look like a port job, maybe ported to match the gasket

I don't see any smooth aluminum so I say it hasn't been touched. Doesn't appear to be gasket matched yet either, to me.

Line up the gasket to it to see how it compares in port size.

Obviously it appears to have been used after the port job. It looks pretty good to me, casting marks have been taken care of but i would describe it only as a light port.

Thanks.
