Love Fab is known for some nice turbo manifolds but as it seems they are in the header market now as well. This may be old news to some but it's new to me. They are retailing for $799 and are available in whatever collector size you prefer. They do not list tube sizing on the website though. Here are a few pictures.

 

cool..but they would need too be posting some competitive dynos at least too sell for 799... thats more than a PROVEN rmf ..or a PROVEN shelf smsp, etc......

 

Looks nice

They told me that the header hasn't been tested yet. I didn't know if anyone has had their hands on one or not. Another reason for my post.

 

It's pretty. But the 4-2 merge looks too soon for N/A applications and the ground clearance is not that great. Compart it's ground clearance to an RMF and it actually sucks.

 

those headers look nice.

 

dyno test...........

the 4-2 does look like it merges too soon. I definately wouldnt pay 800 for this.

i agree, it looks gorgeous, but we arent paying for looks here...
X-eric-X

 

1.6% failure rate. I dont think any other header fabricators can say the same.

how did u get that figure?

 

this header wasnt designed to go into a prelude with ac was it??


should have made a 2 piece desing to cut time on install....

 

For $100 dollars less you can have an RMF.....that sbeen proven.....and looks better......this this is way overpriced unless it makes significantly more power than the competition.

 

RMF ALL THE WAY!!!!

 

I don't know about the merge or the design and how it will work but...its a decent price for stainless...and prolly won't crack like some of the other headers everyone is mentioning..

I haven't heard of a single instance where an RMF or SMSP header cracked.

a mild header...coated or not has a much better chance of cracking...

Its not how i would design an NA header but if it makes good numbers...It would get my vote anyday over a mild steel header thats bound to crack..

 

Just make sure the mild steel header is braced at the back of the block if it is ran open header. And make sure it is braced and ran with a flex pipe if using an exhasut. This will minimize the chances of breakage dramatically.

Also make sure your suspension is set up properly. Bad wheel hop will break a mild steel header very quickly.

I'm interested to see the numbers that this design puts down but at first glance i'm not impressed. For 800.00 they have big shoes to fill.... Building a turbo manifold that makes big horse power requires about as much finess as making a turbo motor with alot of horsepower. N/A design requires skill and testing beyond average ability.

Be that as it may....I repeat that I have NEVER NEVER heard of a mild steel header from RMF or SMSP cracking. If you have, please go ahead adn tell us. SImply saying "I'd rather have stainless so it doesn't crack" is to me a bit iggnorant in lieu of the reliability and workmanship that some of these companies put into their products.

I know the owners of Lovefab. My buddy had a custom kit made by Cody. It is also on their site.

 

I still think we deserve to see some dyno runs on this thing before folks start buying it.

how did they calculate that figure then?

 

nice headers...

 

Nice looking header..... not the cyldiners i would pair but looks like some good quality.

What are you basing too soon on?
