I like em, and sometimes wish I would have gone with one of those over my JMF.

Any particular reason why? (looking at getting a JMFab unit in the spring)

I definately like the warranty on these things:
"Warranty?
Hawver manifolds carry a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. This includes structural failure for any reason that might apply to it's intended use as an intake manifold.
This also covers breach due to N2O or methanol backfires. Defective parts will be repaired or replaced at our discretion. To file a claim or for further information please contact us at info@hawvermotorsports.com"
I don't think the Magnus, JMF, or others cover this do they?
Plus it seems the people that run these seem to gain bottom end rather than lose it, while still seeing nice gains up top. It may be ugly, but nothing a little bit of powdercoating couldn't take care of.

Simply because it's cast and I'd feel like I never have to wonder if there is a pinhole leak in a weld somewhere. Don't get me wrong I'm happy with my JMF, but the Hawver one just seems like you'd never have to worry about it failing unless maybe you have a NO2 backfire. Thing just seems beefy as hell.

I thought you had a clone of some sort of welded manifold...
and your exhaust manifold was a tube header of some sort.

The intake is a hks copy. It is a 2 piece cast inktake. They did it that way so it could have the v stacks on the runners.
The exhaust manifold is s.s. cast weld l's. It was the first on that was on johns (pushit2.0) drag galant vr4

I did a little research and discovered that the dynograph they have on their website http://www.hawvermotorsports.com/dyno_results.html came from a member on DSMtalk.com (reference thread: http://www.dsmtalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=199371&page=4 ) . at the time of the dyno he was running: "16g, pump gas, w/ meth and a modded sidemount"
Might not be a bad option for those of us who prefer smaller turbo setups.

Stronger but also heavier than a SMIM.

I think I would be willing to sacrifice 5-10lbs just for the durability.
