Went to Turbo Trix last week to port my exhast header, the guy there said that if I do it the sides will get thinner and I won't really see any increase, I also wanted it coated to reduce heat, he again said if I do that it's only for bling.
I told him my red has the porter hot side, he said it doesn't matter.
WTF?

You asked several times if it was "worth it" and that depends. The manifold design works well and it will look better after coating but a lot of people don't want to spend that much on an old, stock design manifold. That's why I showed you the coated GT Spec and the Turbotrix manifolds. I was trying to give you all of your options so you could make an informed decision.

Then apparently you don't talk to the right people. They've always helped me out and numerous other people that I know.
They were a huge help and a big arm in the coming together of my old red car that made almost 600 on meth. Car ran great and had no issues except the ones I caused every now and then

It has been confirmed that polishing does nothing it may actually hurt performance. Take a look at an engineering fluid mechanics textbook. Porting on the other side does has its performance gains if done correctly. In addition like already said in the thread a cast unit retains heat well.
