I have heard that a rough intake manifold promotes turbulence which 
is a good thing.  It helps the fuel/air mixture to mix more 
thoroughly.  It is still a good idea to take the sharp corners off 
the bends and do other things which promote better breathing.

The exhaust manifold is a good thing to polish as this minimizes heat 
loss to the walls.
