Extude hone took out the flash and opened up the intake and exhaust runners on the SVT Contour's 2.5L engine. I would think that it would be a great idea on the 4.6L engine!

Extrude Hone’s Powerflow processing of intake manifolds and cylinder head intake ports has already met the challenge for viability, reliability and cost effectiveness. Its value was proven in a four-year, $8 million effort supported by Ford, GM, and the Advanced Technology Program of the National Institute for Standards and Technology.
The process is applied to intake and exhaust manifolds, and cylinder heads, in order to remove rough cast surfaces that restrict horsepower efficiency. Powerflow enlarges and uniformly polishes air and fluid passages to maximize flow velocity through the component. All polishing is performed parallel to the air/fluid flow. The result is a surface finish "grain" achieved in the same direction.
In addition to meeting the rigid requirements of professional race teams and production automotive manufacturers, Powerflow is an effective process for the performance enthusiast. Mustangs, Corvettes, muscle cars and high performance imports offer many excellent performance enhancing opportunities for Extrude Hone. Increased custom airflow can be tailored specifically for a Powerflow application. Results have demonstrated that such increases can exceed 30 percent on aluminum intake manifolds and 25 percent on cylinder heads.

Extrude honing is commonly used on metal castings where there is a chance of casting flash and ridges/surface irregularities as a result of the casting process.
With the composite intake used on the mustang, the surface finish of the plastic is much smoother than a mass-produced aluminum piece would be. In addition, there is not a lot of "meat" available to take down and enlarge.
For cylinder heads, a basic port&polish will probably be enough, for better intake flow, an aftermarket intake will allow better airflow, if needed
