its stone racing mountain .. read the title ... on the ebay ads .. its NOT OBX. that manifold uses a NON MERGE STYLE COLLECTOR .. OBX USES MERGE STYLE, meaning you get the " smooth" flow inside,m look at tinkers collectors and youll see waht im talking about .. that manifold has a " turbo-performance.com" collector, meaning its just stamped steel.

the obx doesn't have a merge collector

and that is the SAME IDENTICAL THING AS THE OBX/MENG type

is not .. check it out



forgot to add .. i think the OBX only accepts tial 40MM 4 bolt style wastegate patterns

go look at the collector area and youll see the difference, also look at the flanges. also look at the wastegate and ummm ... under the runners off the flange they have some " gussets" to support it.

well thats what you think... just goes to show how inexperienced you are that you cant tell the difference btween the two manifolds.

if the guy would admit to having the Ebay manifold i wouldnt have a problem...but is the ebay manifold and he shouldnt be lying and trying to cheat HT members.

And i know the OBX and the obx style manifolds are different....i meant the Ebay OBX style manifolds...

This guy def. has a cheap POS ebay manifold to sell and hes trying to rip of H-T members and its just crap

I' got some hard headed friends, Ming, OBX, spark, ss autochrome, stone mountain, seen them all break/crack in some way. they all look identical and suck all the same. If it looks the same and weighs the same, what makes you think its any different.

bigwig - If you don't like the guys manifold, then don't buy it. You don't have any proof that this guys manifold is this or that, it's just your word against his. So move on, and buy another kit or manifold.

It's not like he sold you something completely false, and then you can say he ripped you off.
