Exclamation Standard Header Port and Polish in Melb?

One of my other vehicles is a ZZE123R Toyota Corolla Sportivo (141kw). This is my day-to-day vehicle.

Been on some Toyota and Honda forums and I cannot get a response that I require.

I wish to port, polish and match my standard headers to my engine plus HPC coating, to make them more efficient. I also wish to port, polish and match my intake manifold.

I am also considering swaping my current CatConverter to a more sports oriented hiflow unit such as a diffilipo? This is the best bang-for-you-buck results than buying any after market units (not interested).

Is there ANY reputable shops in Melbourne, of which I can get this work done.

My first question is why bother porting an engine with no real modifications and a car that's never going to be quick? Porting is a lot of work normally done to faster cars and it will of course require a full top end rebuild.

With all these mods you're going to spend a few grand and create a car that may be about as quick as a Falcodore.

If you really want to spend money on making a Camry quick, btw don't forget it will make it damn near impossible to sell. But start with the intake mods, better air intake, then go the exhaust. See if you can do a tune of some sorts and then start the other mods.
