What bit to use on porting a header?
I need to port my HPI header but am not sure exactly which bit to use. Also do I have to also polish it out after the grinding?

wash all the metal files out with water and then buff it with metal polish if you have the time/patience/and the right dremel buffer bit.

Yeah, A carbide bit with a round tip works great.

What bit to use?
racinZrooky;
Use a Bit or Stone that is designed to cut NON-Ferris Metals. Any shape that will fit inside of the header port. Then use a small file to smooth the rough edges.
All you are trying to do is taper the sides of of the header port to allow the exhaust gasses to flow more smoothly. An MIP header already has this done from the factory if you are interested.
