I have read other posts about this manifold and they all say that it is crap. The welds are dont hold and the metal that they use is cheap so it leaks. Never tried this manifold but that is what is said about it in other posts. Do a search and check it out.

^^^ yeap. OBX manifold is completely junk. they tend to crack in 2+ pieces easy, even with a bracket support. GL with it though.

yeah, Ive heard of 1 or 2 busting on people, but a lot of others have them w/out a problem. Just hope you got a good one, cuz you get what you pay for. Thats why they're so cheap. Good luck with everything though.


And lots of people buy kits, lots of people go custom. Custom is better, but dont cheap out if you do. I bought a kit, and want to upgrade everything in mine. It will eventually be custom.

Search for OBX and you'll get what people think of them.

For custom kit questions, take a look in the turbo FAQ.
