Default how well does the BLOX manifold flow......

i wanna change manifolds but really dont want to go to a stainless tubular mostly because of the price and i have seen the BLOX turbo manifold i currently have the DRAG piece of crap and i know it is holding me back a little, so i wanted to switch to something else but keep the turbo and wastegate in almost the same spots.

i know this sounds BAD but has anyone really done any research on the new OBX manifold that is all equal length and is a totally new design???? it actually looks good and the collector isnt that bad at all, just wondering

The collector is still stamped, does that make it a bad design? I say go for it.

I actually picked one up for a cheap setup for a friend, and i was supprised as to the modifications they have made to there design. The ports flow very nicely, the collector is better, but still has alot of room for improvment. But the manifold has a WG brace support, and it comes with pre fabbed brackets to brace the manifold to the block. I will post pics if people would like.

uh oh, sounds like i might have started some **** about the OBX manifold........haha... but seriously, they go for 400.$$ thats not too bad, i really dont have 900-1300 dollars for a turbo manifold, and i am part machinist so i am sure i can fix deficiencies in the OBX model.....

however the BLOX is only like 280.00 and looks very similar to my old inline pro manifold. does anyone have any info or have used THAT manifold
