FL Porting Question
When porting the exhaust ports on the housing, do the sleeves get removed or should they be left in???

Thanks in advance...
Joe

There is no reason to remove them. Don't go larger that the sleeve as it acts as a heat shield.

Depending how big your port is you will need to taper down the sleeve... I've done it more than once!

I have come to realise it's personal preference...
Some say NO while others say it doesn't matter you can remove them...
