well, i'll be getting my hands on a spare intake manifold and i was wondering what you guys think a local show here would charge to to the above, port/polish or honed/extrude (spelling). i know the second choice would be more effient and all so i'm just trying to get a price. i already have my throttle body bored out so i basically need some info. also, if there is a shop close to any of you guys that can do it cheap and good, let me know. thanks.

ported 80 bucks
honed extrude 300ish? someone correct me on this one if im wrong

Call me a noob, but what is the difference?

port/polish only goes so far where as honed/extrude is all the way through. so i believe.

yeah, i am in the same perdicament.....i either wanan hone or P and P. extreme motorsports qouted me 390 for extrude honing, personaly i dont see anythign fron this indy one, and i think 60mm TB is way to big so i may extrude hone......later:thumbsup

>Call me a noob, but what is the difference?

Extrude/hone- This is done by machine with more precision, where port/polish is done by hand (dremel)

Extrude Hone used to have prices on their site, but they don't anymore. :(

Extrude Hone pushes an abrasive liquid through the unit to flow erode any imperfections and resistance. Here's a link: read all about it!

dont pay more then 150$ to have your intake manifold ported and polished..

in my eyes for the money u will not benefit enough from a extrude hone on our cars for the price it has...

have the injector bumps smoothed out and ported n polished and u should pickup a few ponies...


if u want a new sheetmetal style intake with mandrel bent runners come talk to me they are about 500$ with a round chamber instead of a box style...

i sandblasted the inside of mine to smooth it out. sandblasting nozzle is like $13 at walmart.
