Default What about the OBX turbo manifold ???

A friend of mine got an OBX stainless steel tubular manifold from ebay. It will fit a t3 and costed $300.00 shipped. Any experiences with this manifold ? It looks ok to me (I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THIS)... Is it a good manifold ?? Worth the money??

If you search for OBX you will find the answer also you will find pictures that give you proff of how those manifolds suck.

that manifold that "costed" $300, is a "pile". the only ones i have seen in person have been heavily reinforced(wish i could say where i saw that, lol. ) they would have a **** fit on the internet. as usual.

i can understand the welds cracking, but the runners? just how cheap of a stainless steel can it be? i was thinking doing a forged steel manifold from schedule 40 pipes from mcmaster.com
