Post Why headers when there's port and polish?

Has anyone thought or has done port and polish to the stock headers? There's alot of talk about how restrictive the headers are and such. But maybe if they get serviced by say...Xtrudehone, then wouldn't that free some up without having to spend 1K+?? Just a wondering thought of mine...

argh, then you dun apply.. But it's something to do say after 3 yrs of driving, get rid of all the buildup. But you could extrude the head..maybe that would make it like a Type-S intake.
