exactly!
Had an equally crappy experince with a POS OBX B-series LSD. OBX doesn't stand behind their products either. Send it back to them.

Yes, put it in the trash! Not only do they make questionable products, but that is a manifold for a turboed engine, not an NA H23VTEC.....

I believe you two are full of ****. The consensus on this site is that their older stuff, particularly their headers, sucked, and that their new LSD's, cams, and intake manifolds were actually excellent as they simply copied tried and true designs from other manufacturers.

i'd say be careful with OBX stuff... yeah the old stuff was ****, and the new stuff is copied off good designs, but there's still stuff on here about their new stuff and that the don't stand behind anything.
the copied designs are just that... they look the same. think about the fake rolexes .. rolexi? lol, but yeah, just cuz they look the same doesn't mean they are made out of the same grade material. and apparently their lifetime guarantee is only for manufacturer defect at their discretion... if it breaks and they can blame it on you (oh, so the cam was installed at the time it broke? that's pry why it broke, not a manufacturers default) you're screwed.
so good luck with the h23 vtec turbo, but remember this:
if you only like something because it's pretty and cheap,
you'll pry get ripped off or catch VD.
