That picture is not the one you get because the obx one is very different than the one on the picture.

WILL NEVER CRACK. YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. <----hahahahaha!



* Huge impact power gains <----huuuuge

* Dramatically increase turbo and throttle response<----- over what?

* Extract maximum performance from turbo

* 15-40bhp through SUS-304 stainless steel hi-flow tubular design <-----15-40hp over what?

* Dyno tested and proven<------i bet, lots an r&d. Ha!

* Direct bolt-on without modification <-----aparently they have never installed their own stuff before

* SUS-321 stainless steel mandrel bend for ultra fast flow <---super duper fast!

* O2 sensor position <------ ???????

* Mounting Bolts and Gaskets Hardware included <----ghetto 50 cent gaskets

* CNC SUS-321 stainless steel flange with TIG/MIG welded construction <------tig/mig? pick one

* Lifetime warranty from manufacturer's defects <-----im sure that will go real well

doesnt matter what we say on here, and how many times, OBX manis and ssauto mani's are going to sell. people dont care, they want cheap and shinny. dont waste any time with this stuff.

from now on im going to tell people those mani's look awesome and make you able to put a turbo in your car. cant run the car, but it looks awesome. lol

usually the OBX and ss autochrome junk is (correct me if i am wrong) 16gauge tubing, that doenst hold up and what is shown on the ebay ad is a 8g tubing manifold that looks like any one elses WORTHY manifold

OBX and those fake companies have really shiny polished runners, that further make it look inferior and junky

most of the obx/ssauto stuff is like 18-20.

tons of people use 16g. in manifolds, go look at drag cars. of course they have a proper brace system to support the turbo

not at all. Peakboost manifolds are drawn out alot further at arc's of each runner towards the coresupport, as they dont look now like everyone else's ramhorns... ie...fullrace, spoolinperf, neukin, rld-fab, lovefab SST, and fab this and fab that... you get the picture

I'm pretty sure that's an old Full Race manifold. There's another thread a little while back where Geoff said that OBX had bought some of their earlier hand welded manifolds and were using the pics.
