Extrude hone?
Just wondering - How come no corvette owners ever get their intake manifolds extrude honed? It would seem to me that it would have a pretty good gain over just your average port job.

Oh, well that makes more sense now, I actually never took the time to look at the manifold. I just assumed it was aluminum. However, I think would still actually have a benefit even with the plastic material...

But the Extrude Hone process uses such high pressure that it would completely destroy the nylon/composite intake almost immediately.
I guess Im not thinking straight today.
