hey theres a kid in town selling obx racing intake manifold and header. id never heard of them does anyone have any expeirnce with these

 

general impression of OBX=ebay special

not great quality, but functional

dont have any personal exp. on the mani or headers, but I had a OBX twin loop muffler (check sig). It is nice. Just not the same kind of nice that you get with other big names.

 

My friend put a OBX header on his h23 and we saw very good gains from it. they are functional but as said, lack in quality.

 

the intake manifolds are poor quality, but with cams you should see gains...if you put an IM on a stock internaled motor you'll lose more than you'll gain(experienced this myself with a ported AEBS, as well as seen it several times)...Typical results I've seen/experienced even with tuning the cam gears (all are on NA b series motors...one of which was using an OBX IM) is a loss of 5-10 whp till about 4000rpm and a small gain 1-3whp up top that is with STOCK cams...however if you already have cams it should make a nice difference everywhere.

Can't speak for there headers but they're a decent company for the money IMO, and their products will perform, given that they are installed properly and have the supporting mods, how long will they last is the only question, and that answer is usually less than other higher priced brands that put in a better effort in the quality control dept and more R&D.

 

the loss in power is orlly seen with just about and IM on any pretty much stock motors b/c the larger runners slow down the velocity of the air. if u can get it for a decent price it cant hurt if u plan on doing other mods like cam, header, maybe boost if ur going that route. just my 2 cents
