You could always come over and help put together some cupboard doors in my air conditioned garage.

No. A polish job is jut that .... the interior surface is 'polished' so that it's mirror like, smooth, slippery. Very good at high rpm, bad at low rpm.

Re:Hey Doc 4 Years, 9 Months ago  
So if I take it down to the metal as pictured above.... as I was thinking using the dremel then sandpaper as I approach the metal then I should be okay ....the resuting performace IE 6000 rpms before you get good results with a polished manifold was what had me thinking twice..... since Roadies dont get that high .....Coug
