Default Lovefab "shorty" manifold: opinions

Im gonna be getting one pretty soon and i just wanted to hear what you guys think about it. Its a very cheap manifold which looks to have great quality. Also the wastegate positioning looks good.

They stopped making them for hondas and even so i dont see them often. Any reason for this? Anything you dont like about the manifold?

Here's a pic of it, not great but only one i can find:

Looks strong, great welds, good wastegate positioning (as you mentioned), and good reputation on h-t.com. I like it. Reminds me a lot of the SFP manifold.

I don't know where you're going to be getting this manifold from because as you already know from what you stated is that they discontinued that manifold...

Does the mini-me have a real merge collector?

yes. the angles arent as shallow as say the SST, but it is a merge collector. That, and the runners act as part of the collector.

will the drag intercooler piping fit with the mini-me, or do you have to add piping?

You can email me for info Havok Hybrid.

You will actually just have to cut the piping, re-weld, or re-clamp to shorten the piping. This is with the non-AC model, because the compressor inlet faces the drivers side of the car.
The AC Mini will more than likely bolt right up to drag piping because the turbo placement is similar...

Is the H22 Mini ready to go yet? Or is it still being developed?

they are ready. These all use the same placements as the other tubular manifolds(minus the D and B NON AC minis). Pics will be up of the H22 mini shortly...
