Hey... you probably missed it because it's called 5 gazillion different names. Search for OBX, Meng, Type-R, Spark, I know there are other names out there. They are all strangely similar.

yup and they are all garbage!!! I like the description
"And since this manifold is tubular steel, it flows better than cheap cast iron and is less prone to cracking. "

well...commercial steel has a roughness coefficient = .046mm while cast iron is =.26mm.
All other factors being the same, it would flow better. But they aren't, so why do I care...

Christian, its made by the same exact company that made your manifold. The VS racing manifold that is on your car is that same OBX manifold.

Yeah me too, never cracked. I know a over a dozen people around here with them. The TRR version definitely holds up. Maybe others don't.

It's not the manifold runners that crack, but the welds itself. Right?
So between a Drag log manifold, and an OBX manifold...both of which *WILL* crack...I'll still take the tubular one.
