Default FS: B series SS turbo manifold

This is a for sale post, not a technical post.
There is a proper place for that on this site.
if you don't like it, DON'T BUY IT!
eBay is not a retail store, No one will guarantee that you will find the same item
for the same price verytime. Just because someone got lucky and bought one for cheap does not mean everybody all the time will get it for that price.


I have a new OBX stainless steel turbo manifold for sale.
It fits al B series engines, very clean TIG welds.
Flange for T3-T4 type turbo and external waste gate.
$470 shipped. LOWERED to $450 shipped.
Thanks

How can you guranttee that it will crack? Have you ever used this manifold or even seen it in person? Its the same as the Spark Racing Manifold...Its well worth it at $470...Its made of 304 Stainless and its not some weak *** mild steel parts with thin walls, plus it looks bad as ****...Wrap it and keep the temperature consistent and it will last a long time...

You must know a lot! and your spelling
Turbo manifolds crack because they are used unsupported.
Meaning the manifold has to support the weight of the turbo, down pipe, and in most cases quite a bit of exhaust pipe before any other brace helps to carry the weight.
I have a brace that attaches to the manifold and the block, not just hanging from the head studs.

I'm learning new things everyday. Do you have any pics of this brace? I never thought of a turbo "unsupported" but then again we all overlook lots of things.

There are plenty off tubular turbo manifolds that are unbraced and dont crack. With proper materials and construction you shouldnt need a brace.

I got one of the same off ebay for 350. You need to lower your price if you really want to sell it!

OBX doesn't sell them for $280...At least not to you or I...And anyone can mass produce anything like exhausts and intakes and put their name on it...Whats the difference between that AEM Intake and that Arospeed Intake? Whats the difference between the STR N1 Exhaust and the 5Zigen Fireball Exhaust? Sure, you get what you pay for when you buy Hardcore Race parts, but when buying parts that are mass produced by everyone, you shop around to get the most for your money...Name Brands sell alot of mass produced parts...OBX is a company that mass produces lots of parts...HP Racing makes Mass Produced Parts but now that their sponsored Civic is running 8.5sec quarter mile times, everyone wants their ****...Large Quantities makes the product cheaper...The quality is similar to most 304 Stainless Manifolds...Looks great and works great...Cracking is a problem with any big turbo on any tubular manifold...304 steel is not as strong as 321 steel, but its still stronger than mild steel and there are lots of custom manifolds that sell for $500+ made of Mild Steel...
