It involves an abrasive, putty-like substance that is "extruded" through the runners. It's one of the things they did to the duratec to make it an SVT. I think SHO Shop also has some intake headers that are pre-honed. ------------------ "My other car is a minivan..." '96 Contour SE "Function before fashion." '96 Contour SE

"I think SHO Shop also has some intake headers that are pre-honed" What exactly does an "intake header" look like? If you are referring to the ported intake manifold that they are selling then it could get quite pricy. They charge you a core charge, so basically you pay $600 for the intake manifold, then you send them an SVT intake manifold and they refund you $300. The thing is that I think it has to be an SVT one, so if you don't have an SVT right now then you will end up spending like $600 for the intake manifold. For that price it would be better to get the headers. -James SVT with CE light mod and a camera mount. Naughty Pictures Why yes it is true, I am on my third engine.
