Has anyone port matched the 2.2l ecotec intake manifold? I have one laying around and wanted to know if any gains were seen or if it was just a waste of time.

Yeah well it's cheaper than buying the 2.4l intake mani so I was just curious.
Supporting mods are cold air intake, header and header back exhaust. Still on the stock throttle body and motor is still completely stock.

If you have the extra manifold laying around, I'd say go for it. Worst case scenario, you install the stock one again. It can't hurt to try.
I have a 2.4 ported and I ported the head to match I think there's a big difference not so much in the bottom end tho, more at top ends.
I think with out porting the head its pointless, but like you said you have a extra what's there to lose?
Even on a stock head its a mod that works well when u ve tune after porting you can feel it. going from a ported stock mani to a le5 manifold i felt more of a jump stock to ported l61 mani. but le5 mani over all feels better to me. with that said it you got a extra laying around go for it.
see ya!
