Default skunk 2 mani vs obx mani

even though the obx intake manifold only accpets up to 66 mm throttle body, for a sohc vtec, its half the price of the skunk 2 manifold. Is there a reason for this? both not carb approved yet. If I were to get skunk 2 manifold would I just be paying for the name?

most likely yes about the brand name thing. However just consider that almost all OBX products fail in one way or another after a very short time.

What I would reccomend doing that would cost about as much as an OBX mani.(maybe a little more) is to port match the OEM IM @ the head and TB, as well as a thermal gasket.
