Ported manifold from VAST

I have some ceramic coated manifolds from VAST.. But they dident have some ported and pollished on stock. They just told my that I was safe if I just get the weld ridge knocked out and open the holes to the exhaust gasket. But is the pipe also welded inside the manifold?

it needs welded again - get a good tig weld so it is a nice flush finish.

So it needs to be TIG weld the same place as OEM?

@Doug.. Would I have a problem if I dont weld it aigen? Could it be that it would crack and send some metal to my new turbo,s
Do you have some pictures of yours ported stock manifold?

marty,
what happened to the AWE ones? they are far superior to the VAST! why did you get rid of them? i saw you posted them, and i think you sold at a loss.
how are you, how is the car? let me know,
