Question How does my Exhaust port job look?

Followed the RB template for the street port. Replaced the bevel (chamfer) best that I could. How does it look?

I didn't change the sides to much but opened it up on the bottom to match the exhaust sleeve. I also polished the exhaust sleeve.

Thoughts?






EDIT - I think that I should open the port up towards teh edges. To at least match the sleeve...that sound right?

Got them from the Mazdamotorsports.com program...best drag racing I have ever done!

I really can't mention the price because it was a rather large discount. However, from the dealer there are 520 I think.

I have a question. Is it OK for that gap to be there between the sleeve and the port?

Go to mazdamotorsports.com

Basicly, drag race or autox 2 a year. Or drag once and autox once. Get your SCCA member ship (Approx 60 bucks) and you are set for one year.

Expect a 20-30 percent discount off of stock parts and competition stuff. Minus body and interior parts.

Hell, you don't have to go ***** to the wall if you dont want to. Just run it down the track without going all out.
