No one does extrude hone in Canada. You would have to send your stuff down to the states.

For the same money (or less), I'd rather send my head down to Portflow and get some extras done.

it is a process using a gritty solution to clean and polish inside intakes, heads, headers. it smooths the hard corners for better flow. well that's what i know about it.

It's a great concept, because bigger is not always better. However, your still limited to how well the intake runner lengths are tuned.
The key is to increase air-flow mass and velocity, without creating too much turbulance. That will have an effect on how well the fuel mixture (by swirl effect) is introduced and distributed in the combustion chamber.

If you look at a lot of well done IM and head porting jobs, you'll notice that they try to remove the casting imperfections, and smoothen out the runners. But pending on application, they can use a wide variety finishes to suit your needs.

Extrude Hone is great, and they can also use different grades of material that can affect the surface of the runner, but I'd probably recommend porting everything first.
