If you decide on the HIF6, don't go for the Titon manifold (Mini Mania
sell it as part of their HIF6 conversion I think). It is not all that flash.
If you do go that route, the best manifold I have found is the Russell
Engineering manifold. It flows exceptionally well. It cost me A$120 I think
(= ~ US$75).
Actually, Russell Engineering also make the best Weber manifold I've
tried as well. At A$240 it is a little more expensive.... It is slightly,
but
measurably, better than the Redline long manifold and unlike the Redline
(ex Wannaford) long manifold, it fits in a sprite without any cutting of
mudguards.
