Default Anyone heard of Extrude Hone for intake manifolds?

I remember back when I drove a Lumina Z34 with the 3.4 DOHC motor (Best potential of any V6 ever IMO) that a lot of guys talked about sending the intakes off to Extrude Hone. It essentially forces abrasive material through an intake (or anything for that matter) and brings it to a mirror finish. Has anyone ever heard of doing this to an LS6 intake??

Thats because they are made of metal. Our intakes are plastic or whatever. Its an idea but it wouldnt work.

yeah when i had a SHO, extrude honing the intake runners was about 400 bucks or so for maybe 10hp at the crank. But it was still popular.

Wow, what do the GN guys have to say about this? hehe Or for that matter, the SHO gurus. I have not seen many modded 3.4's, but I know my SHO makes over 510 hp with 13psi on a t3/4. Pretty good potential there too.

As far as the EH intake, I have one on the turbo SHO, and it is nice. Probably not worth a lot of HP, but the intake stays real clean!
