well, I don't know where you got OBX from...but I wouldn't buy it if I were you....the guy has 255 negatives!!!!!

I mean, I know he has a lot of positives....but still, mainfolds can crack, and then you will have to pay for shipping and wait for weeks for a replacement or fix.....not worth it to me

it looks like welding on outside. it will crack under abuse. i've seen manis do such

its not cool.

yeah ok, but by whom?

you get what you pay for. look at his feedback. 2 negative in the 7 days,13 in the past month

not cool

most of the replies have been 'fixed' apprently (by his replies) but you get what you pay for. i can bet money it will crack under hard usage (ie. track use)

yeah tahts true, but if you do the math, all his positive vs all his negatives then his doing reasonably good

they guy'll send you the manifold. that's not the problem.

It's whether that manifold is any good.

I'm in the same boat as you.
all SS manny's are gonna crack. companies won't use better grade steel because then the mannys will be at ungodly prices.

So it's up to you,
by cheap and risk cracking within a year (make sure to use brace)

or spend boku bucks and buy GP, HKS, etc..

Thats the decision that I'm being faced with. Honestly I think I'm gonna go the cheaper route for now. Or maybe strike a middle ground by getting an HPI manny.

Hope this gives you some insight.
