The material looks rather thin, the welding around the V-band is shotty at best, and i cant understand the placement...i'm not an avid H-series guy and dont know the in's and out's of the underhood goodies, but it looks like it would be in the way of something...All in all, i think there are several other options with far better designs and manufacture. This manifold looks like an NA header with a turbo stuck on it. The only thing holding it all together is that brace...

It almost looks like a hydraulic line of some kind...if i had the money and time, i would have loved to do a setup with proper fittings for my oil line. I have a braided stainless -4an feed, but there's something sweet about hardlines and factory looking hydraulic lines. I've only seen it a few times though....

It almost looks like an upside-down K series header with a flange welded to it...now that you mention that. I first thought that someone may have used thinner tubing (similar to an NA header) and turned it into a turbo manifold....is this the new H series version of the HF manifold??
