for a 100 dollars more you can get an inlinepro manifold, all those obx manifolds are made out of the same material, it might last you longer but it aint gonna last like 10 years,

there are a few guys running the "newer" ram-horn-full-race knock off OBX manifold with no problems......

but like anything else they make it may fall apart if not properly installed/braced.

for the price i would deffinatly get one if it was A/C compatable.....

Dont buy the obx, you will be sorry you ever did that.. Just get an Edelbrock or GE and call it a super done deal.......

Not all OBX stuff is ****.

i'd avoid their normal turbo manifolds and turbos....but the full race one looks well made....i'd buy if i wasn't keeping A/C......

OBX makes awesome mufflers for the price...and the LSD's supposedly are good too

that manifold has the same coffee can collector as the other ones, so dont expect any more power from it then any thing else wid the same collector, so if u buy it, ur only buying it cuz it LOOKS fast......
so if your a ricer, its awesome!
no thanx
