Ever seen an extrude honed intake manifold? It's not "Polished" like most
people would think. I've had well over 100 intake manifolds Extrude Honed
(Ford 5.0L) and none of them were "Polished"...just smoothed out but they
still have very slightly rough walls with a directional grain.

You are absolutely right, that's why Extruding makes so much
power.....velocity.
