Extrude honing is a really cool process. A rubberized grit-filled stuff is forced at high pressures through passages, such as those in an intake manifold, exhaust manifold or whatever.

Wherever there is a tight spot in the casting, the extrude hone gets forced through at even higher flow rates, which hones those spots even more and widens them. This lessens the restriction. Great stuff.
