Default Finished Port Matching my header

I recently purchased a custom d-series header, its cool for $50 So today i got off my lazy *** and decided to port match it to my head. I got some pics, I think i did it right, but if not let me know. I kind of did it half *** but i like it. Let me know wat u think...

My wonder working compressor, and the bits i used





Check this out, isnt this the ugliest exhaust manifold let alone restrictive. this was on my motor when i bought it, its the man. off a 4 spd. STD motor( I THINK IT LOOKS LIKE E.T. OR SOMETHING!)



custom header



Port matched and ready to install

I portmatched both the header and the head to the gasket. I used a sharpie and outlined the metal inside the gasket. Then I ground away. I don't know how he did his portmatching though.

Im jsut curious how much difference will this acutally make,,, ?? for this technique, when you use the drumle tool are you only concerned with the first half inch depth or as deep as you can get the drummel in there??
