Hawver Intake Manifold

[goodhart]

I've been looking at these on DSM Tuners, DSM Talk, etc. I was wondering if anybody around here was running one or knows someone who is, and if so what kind of numbers they have seen. Just looking for some local feedback here on this nice looking piece that is all.

That is one ugly manifold lol. That'd pretty much the only opinion I have.

I like cast pieces, because they are usually robust.

Having said that, that is indeed one ugly intake manifold.

If the fins and name were machined off and the body polished it might look decent.

I have been wondering about these as well... They aren't bling or eye catching by any means. However, they appear to be a better replacement cast intake mani than the stock version IMHO.

Nothing wrong with a cast manifold, very strong. Shit, shave the Hawver shit shaved off and polish it and it will look like a Magnus.

Someone had on at the cookout. It looked alot better in person then online. But you shouldnt be buying an intake by looks anyway. These look like a very nice intake IMO The plenum could be Bigger But id should be comparible to a Magnus or JMfab.

lol.
I wanted to go cast when i was looking at IM, but with the warranty's of all the SMIM ones i figured go with them. I used to have some comparisons of where this was a really decent mani for being cast, but i think it was always topped by the others probably a lot more so since the others have redesigned theirs.

I like the looks of the manifold. Reminds me of a FP cast exhaust mani.

It kind of reminds me of an offenhauser manifold.
Old school style

I think they're sweet! Definitely the one I would get far over anything else. They're supposed to have decent gains without killing the low end, but I'd definitely like to see more than the 1 or 2 dyno sheets available.

I don't think it looks bad. The lettering and lines has an old school muscle car look to it.
