Does anybody run this manifold?

 

garbage....OBX=

 

if these things were made of thicker material they would be the **** . but they are thin wall material and crack , dont get it.

 

why do people still ask stupid questions about obx mani...? they freaking suck.. crack.. worthless..

Did you mean better material??

Thicker does not mean it will be better.

Those manifolds are at least better then the SSA......... ones(Dare not mention that name )

 

You can run of of these manifolds just fine so long as you: brace the manifold from the block to reduce the amount of weight/vibration being put on it, port the wastegate exit, and have a flex pipe in your exhaust.

actually they are the exact same , spark racing , ss autochrome and obx manis are the exact same . and the material is ok , its just too thin.

Bracing can actually cause the manifold to be more likely to crack. If it's made of different material/metal it will have a different heat expansion rate.

 

when you brace a manifold yourself , your eliminating the expansion points the manufacturer built into it.

 

The weight of the turbo/wastegate cannot be supported by the thin material. Brace at least the turbo and you should be fine.

This has been gone over a thousand times...
