I have a Blox Cast Manifold for my turbo build but I now have the chance to upgrade to a Love Fab Mini Me. Both are AC compatible which I want but I am curious how much better the Love Fab will be compared to the cast manifold. I'm trying not to spend any more money than I have to at this point so if the increase in power/performance/spool time isn't worth the extra money then I'm just going to stick with what I have.

 

I think the love fab is pretty short. It may be more "baller" but I dont think It would be worth the extra money if your cast mani is in good shape...

 

Cast mani is brand new and I have the matching downpipe for it. The Love fab is used and I don't know if my current downpipe will work with it or not.

 

Ya id just roll with that cast mani for now!

 

shortys ftw

 

i would use the lovefab mani

 

Thank God someone else see's this too... half the "baller" parts aren't even any better... some are a lot better though so i wont take credit away from those parts that deserve the credit but you gotta be careful and selective... but at the same time you do get what you pay for a lot of the time and i just contradicted myself lol.. whatever...

the way i look at it is.. look at dsm's and how much power they make with the cast irons.. we'll just say enough.. but as far as biggest bang for the buck.. definitely a cast iron right versus a equal length or somthin?

how much is the love fab anyway.. brand new and street price?

 

Does anyone know how the blox cast manifold compare to the inline pro? Just trying to figure out how much power can be made with one of these manifolds.

 

there really is no comparison, i personally dont like mini-me's but they are leaps and bounds better than a cast blox manifold

 

The mini-me's make almost as much power as the big ramhorns; they have a very nice merge collector and the construction is excellent. I'd take that over the Blox every time.

 

You will make more power with the lovefab dyno proven!

 

exactly, my only gripe against them is the oil drain

 

You guys are making my life difficult... I guess I need to talk to my buddy and see how low he would go for it...

 

The question that hasnt been asked is, what is your power goal? That will determine your decision. Is this a budget build? If it is, and if your power goal is minimal, then there's no reason to upgrade to the mini me, stick with what you have if the mani is in good shape, as Ls_dx stated.

 

look at inline pro's log mani

 

i run the blox manifold , works great

 

I'm straight now... I am looking for 300whp and nothing more. I'm running the exact same turbo as your old one on a stock motor so from what I've been told this will work fine and it's already paid for. Thanks for the input guys!

 

Thats the big issue these days... Good luck with your build!
