this is what gets about 90% of people modding their car in trouble. you cant hustle this stuff, and cut corners. stuff will break regardless, it compounds when you add in a hurried build.

50% had luck 50% dont 50% call it junk 50% wont.....hahaa thats funny.

i have never used obx parts except for a diff i installed for a friend. so i cant offer too much on that top mount. but i will say, a few bucks spent on a quality used one, will net you a better manifold.

Surprisingly enough, in person these manifolds dont look too bad. Relatively thick metal, good welds, and a good design overall. One of my friends ran this manifold with no problems so far and its been about a year. I know OBX has a bad track record but this manifold definitely looks better than any of their other products. If I were to use any manifold available on ebay, this would be the one I would choose.

Try the Spa top mount.
It cast shouldnt break.
Kinda on the cheaper side.
