Actually I read in 5.0 magazine a couple of years ago that they tested and extrude honed and retested several intakes and they found that the extrude honed stock intake out flowed the non extrude honed cobra intake and had a better runner balance of all the intakes tested.

After the extrude honed the cobra intake it did flow more than the stock one but they did say they could have even removed more material if they wanted. They also said that the stock extrude honed intake was a very good intake.

I will agree that you can do better than the stock intake but if you are going for the stock look or do not have the money for the extrude honed or after market intake and know how to hand port it that it will work good if done right.
