OBX is not generally accepted as good brand.

If your car is automatic, you will have to swap to another auto trans. You CAN convert to manual, but the process is a pain in the ***, and costly if you aren't performing the work yourself.

what can you expect from a $40 intake manifold?

NOT MUCH!

somethings are good, others arent. OBX copied their intake manifold from a ITR, i bet you that if you hand polished it or something in that area, it would perform just as good or maybe better, but stuff like cams....it just doesnt make sence to use OBX because of all the pressure the valvetrain puts on it and stuff...
