Not sure, but better be 100% sure the media they use is completely clean from the intake before installation. Not sure if you remember the one post where it supposedly caused engine damage.

Lingenfelter's shop said they were still doing some component work to Vipers. Maybe they're still cutting open intakes, porting them, and welding them back together.

It'd cost you more, but it might give you more than the 7hp extrude honing typically gives..

if extrude hone is only going to give 7hp for that amount of work and money, it it really worth doing it for 7 hp?

It's been posted more than once that the gain is under 10hp.

Yeah, but I'll bet that 7hp "feels more like 50hp" SOTP. :)

Just kidding, sorry, I couldn't resist.

Have you ever seen a Hogans Racing (sheet metal) manifold for a Viper? I just had them make a cross ram style for my Gen-1. The plenums are huge with tapering 10inch (straight) runners. They also make a (centered plenum) manifold with short runners for a forced induction set-up.

We have done many extruded manifolds and have tested the results. Power gains are not big but in combination with other modifications they add up. When extruding a manifold
you need to do some followup checks and make some minor port changes to make everything work right. On certian applications these modified manifolds make a big change, others they do not. The year matters also.

www.hogansracingmanifolds.com shows V8 manifolds starting at about $2500. How much did yours cost, and - any documented gain in hp or ET with your Gen1? Post some pictures!!!
They wrote me back and said the intakes are $3200 for the Viper...and the Viper manifold is on the cover of the catalog that's on its' way.
