What do you think of this manifold?

Its for the D16a6, D16z6 and D16y8. Seems like its for turbo apps but OBX does not have info on their site yet.

If you get it don't expect much from it, seeing that OBX don't really do much R&D. They just market their product to meet the buying market/phase.

BTW just from looking at it, i can tell it will be a very tight fit and that you'll really loose the lower power band

It's pretty bling bling if that is what you're looking for.

Bling is worthless to me. I need something that flows better.

Looks sweet, any testing done to it ? Or is it just bling bling?? Either way still looks good.
