OBX products are garbage. I run a skunk2 on my y8 and it bolted on no problems. Im heard good things on blox im as well, (considering blox basicallys copies skunk2 or vise versa) but ive heard nothing but bad things about obx. My friend actually bought a obx intake manifold and it was completely different. Didnt have ANY of the matching vaccume ports, not even a location to mount the IACV. We tried contacting the seller and nothing. So basically hes stuck with this piece of trash sitting in his house.
