I am getting a new intake mani because mine has a crack in it and it is leaking coolant. i was wondering if anyone has ever herd of OBX and if the company is any good cuz if not i am going to go with the skunk2 manifold. and if anyone has used either of these how have the results been. thanks...o yea and can i use my stock throttle body and sensors on either of these two manifolds.

 

obx sux... skunk 2 is high quality stuff... especially the pro series im's those things are legit and are one of the best im's around

 

OBX is cheap for a reason. Never have I heard one good thing about OBX. Other than that the price is low.

 

with the skunk 2 do i have to do any additional wireing and also can i use the same t/b and sensors. thanks

 

I just tore my intake manifold off about 20 minutes ago. The only wire I recall was the tps sensor that unplugged from the throttle body. Should mount up and plug right into the new one. Another post on here I just saw explains the hose connections as they are different than stock although one of them apparently is not used on the skunk2 throttle body so you can loop it or something like that?

So your saying the only sensor on the intake manifold is the TPS, which infact is on the throttle body, which also includes a MAP and IAC, then on the Intake manifold is the IAT. Who was the one that pulled off the intake manifold?

Plus OBX is teh gay.

 

you got me there! yeah, there is more to it now that you mention it. My buddy and I just took mine apart, i did unplug 2 things, he did some too. And a bunch of hoses. I feel retarded now, thanks for setting me straight on that one.

 

hmm i wouldnt get obx... skunk2 looks good but a little pricey, dont forget about blox..

 

ok but can i use the stock throttle body on the new intake mani and the stock sensors, do they just bolt right on

 

i jsut put a s2 on my car its all plug and play nothings differant

 

stick to skunk2, obx is a cheaper brand and i believe that the sensors should work and the same with the throttle body

 

I myself currently use a s2 pro manifold but you have the think about the parts you are talking about.

If it were cams, I would stay wiht S2 over OBX anyday of the week but this is an intake manifold, not a set of cams or whatever. If the S2 is out of your price range, get the OBX. I have seen a few of them here and there and they made decent power over stock in turbo applications.

Don't forget blox and AEBS also though if you want to steer away from OBX because of the reputation and yes, they are all plug and play.

 

Hey a blox or an edlebrock.

Or oem.

If you don't have many mods or boost, then the skunk2 might just move some of your power, and not increase it across te whole band.

The edlebrock is a good piece though, If I was getting a new intake mani I'd fork out the extra for the edelbrock, And I'm a cheap S.o.b.

 

Get a Professional Products intake manifold! Or the Blox .
