I'm a little leary about porting / polishing for my HP targets on my Evo 8 head. However I would like to do something like extrude hone the stock exhaust manifold.
Any suggestions / experiences / ideas about the exit ports etc.?
Thanks,

As far as extrude honing the exhaust manifold, the two problems with that are 1. it usually is a little on the expensive side unless you have found a great deal somewhere. and 2. extrude honing won't really gain much more airflow. This is because extrude honing is more of an abrasive that gets forced through the manifold to remove the rough texture and any divets or casting flaws. So it only increases the amount of airflow slightly. For the same price, if not cheaper, we could port and polish that same exhaust manifold and it will net better results then extrude honing it. I experienced this first hand about 5 years ago on one of my vehicles where I first bought an extrude honed stock manifold (it helped) but then got better results by going in and opening it up through P&P.
If you want, you could PM me and we can discuss what your goals are, what would work best, and what we could do to help you along. I've been professionally porting since Jan. 2008 and have done plenty of heads, turbos, manifolds etc.
