We usually use hipex 2669 with c manifold.
Thanks for the information! Well, I already purchased the Nova 51615, as regardless of whether I got the Mephisto or the Mito, it is the same recommended pipe (and got the two recommended Nova manifolds to boot). I will, however keep the Hipex in mind, as I’ve seen that name pop up in quite a few threads already.
