i just had to ask. since i've been seing all these obx threads i figured why not ask since i havnt seen any talk about their turbo manifolds.

so anyone use them? opinions?

this one is for the h23 and is only 175$

 

i posted the same topic in the prelude section about a month ago but no one had any real info on it..

 

If I was making a home made ITB's I would buy that manifold.

 

These people need to Go away

 

me or obx?

I'd like to see pic of the interior of the plenum

 

Regardless of quality, this has to be an improvement over the stock IM's especilly for boosted applications.

I mean it is by far not the best design out there, but for the cost, and ability to use stock sensors still too, I think it may be a good investment.

Unfortunitly like most other things they do not have an h22 application yet...

 

what about a d series app?

 

yea they make d-series manis

 

hmm , id almost buy one

 

becareful...you might blow the welds

yea, then the floor boards will fall out!

 

i would be worried of an intake manifold especially a poorly designed one.
good r&d has been put into skunk2 and edelbrock IMs, to make sure air is evenly distibuted.
heck edelbrock found this as an issue and then angled the throttle body placement ...

 

Not bad for 175.00, big plenum, short runners, looks decent for a boosted application.

 

wow, obx is taking over the market by storm ...

 

I coulda sworn Geoff posted a computerized version of the same intake manifold a couple weeks ago. Proven test results will yeild true results, but speaking from a consumers point of view. This just means more options for us guys that refuse to spend big dollars buying brand names. I heard from all the HT bandwagon jumpers to watch out for my heavily braced Sparks racing mani, watch out for what???? Watch out because it performs as good or better then the name brands???????? Cracking was the issue, not the performance aspect of it. Just my 2 cents.

 

OBX made one mistake. They didn't come out with over priced product for all the "product" driven ricers. Somehow....everyone thinks the expensive=quality. That intake looks great for boosted engines. Don't compare a Skunk2 mani that has all of this "R&D" because your comparing a NA intake to a Boosted Intake...... Anyways, I might pick up one of these along with OBX's new equal length turbo manifold that was on the boards a couple days ago. That exhaust manifold looked rather stout.

 

Nick, when are you going to learn to stop buying **** from ebay? lol

i just knew you were gonna say something about this

 

a friend of mine bought one for his crx and the resivior for the brake fluid was hitting it so he had to have it modified but i think the bought it mostly for the bling bling effect.

i couldnt aggree more

 

my entire life of modding cars ive seen tons of posts/questions/concerns about obx products.

ive used there parts and some lasted long, some were completely garbage, and some im still using.

yes their products in my opinion are better then stock and the prices are always right.

just remember though; number one rule for modding cars, you get what you pay for.

long story short; if your on a budget obx makes cheap power; just dont be upset if the parts dont last

just my .02 cents as usual
hth!

 

ive had the 4-2-1 header and full 2.5 inch exhaust for a year and a half now with no problems. exhaust sounds throaty

 

You get what you pay for or learn on your own and we'll learn from you or not

PS... I bought an EL manifold $500 down the drain...my .02
