Default OBX manifolds... ?

I was looking around on different websites so that i can find a manifold and came accross as web page taht sells obx manifolds. I was very sceptical because i've never heard of these. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bda thing. I know OBX is like nakayama and all those other ebay brands but this manifold doesn't really look to bad. I e-mail the company selling them and asked thme the specs. They havn't e-mailed me back yet so im not sure... have you guys heard anything about these? Keep in mind im poor and and trying to get the best for the little amount of money. I'm lookin at maxrev manifolds so i was just wondering how these would compare.

If you like the OBX ones check into the SPark manifold gb in the FI classfieds or talk to camp1320.com and he can take care of you. The Spark manifold is a newer version of the OBX ones. Nearly identical but the build quality is slightly better.

OK the price will be $495shipped price for T3 models and $550shipped for T4 models But you will be able to purchase a Spark Universal Wastegate for a Addition $100 a MRSP of $195 or get a addition $40 off the manifold price. The Group buy will be for 20 manifolds pre-paid!
How does that sound for a group buy!

Those are my exact thoughts on the manifolds. I was considering for a few days to purchase one, but i am just going to keep my max-rev log manifold. If you dont want to worry about cracking just get the inline pro, rev hard or max-rev. After taking a look at this design i am going to use it to create one for myself, but one that is made out of 308 8 gauge ss, and mild steel flanges and work with my max-rev downpipe.

Well, it has a big red "R" on the box. What kind of companies usually make products and stamp a red "R" on there to make kids think of Type R....fast....badass....same red "R" that comes on stick on hood emblems, cell phone holders, air fresheners, etc.

You make the call lol!

Those obx manifolds actually dont look too shabby. The flanges are nice and thick, and the welds look decent. For $300 on ebay, i would take a chance on it.
