Hmmm I was thinking about sending off my 6.0L manifolds to have them extrude honed...they should flow quite a bit more and dispel any need for tubular headers for my high HP single turbo build

Does anyone make a 1 3/4" or 1 7/8" shorty type header for the trucks? Seems like that'd be the trick over expanding a manifold. Although it wouldnt hold heat like a manifold does.. Hmm...

The extrude method is supposed to be retarded expensive. There have been plenty of mega power cars just running those manifolds without messing with them. Put the money somewhere else.

This is true...I just got a quote on having a set of cast iron turbo manifolds extrude honed and they wanted $675...they said on an N/A application it would be a difference of 15-20hp.
