Lets keep it real.....
I don't mind opening to this discussion... I personally used two....that's 2 of there ramhorn mani's and there not as bad as what you think..Ran it in my DD and Blew out 400WHP Pump..
Facts:
It doesn't have quality in the welds inside the collectors (im being honest here) but the DP is def. quality....
second is you gotta run the 40mm WG..which blows
...but it relieves a bit better than the 35/38mm WG...
Anyways hope this info helps out..

Re: anyone with any FIRST hand experience with the OBX ramhorn manifold? (spoolin turbo s)
Had two just to try them out.
1. on a d15z6 (aka minime)civic produced 223,5whp on stock engine at 14psi
ran it up to 28psi, after 3weeks the elbow(where the WG) were fitted broke of.
rewelded it.
Two weeks later the same started to happend just right after the weld(bad quality SSteel.
Shortened the length of the elbow and fitted a bracket under it to support.
Now it works fine.
2. Had it on a b18teg that produced 421,7whp at 20psi boost.
after 3000miles it cracked at the welds of the collector.
buy yourself a good manifold the first time..
Get yourself Full-race

there are enough threads on this and the other manifolds. ithink you got your answer.
they work for some, and not for others. but they dont work for the vast majority.
