Christ, don't you people read anything on this forum? That manifold is a piece of shit. Everything on eBay regarding manifolds and downpipes are generally pieces of shit, with the exception of the odd HKS/BEGi/ETD private sale. Don't come crying to us in 3 months when your discount chinese POS manifold has cracked in 3 places and you're tired of paying the wrench monkey at Midas to reweld it for you.

it's true eunos... most people do complain about the mani's breaking..... just have a welder's # in handy cuz they tend to crack.... mine hasn't yet tho :dunno: *knock on wood*

Eunos_roadsterna6ce 12-26-2007 04:13 AM

i thought obx was made in the us????????????? you really think it will crack????some people in here actually have them and said they work pretty good right????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????

XxGoKoUxX 12-26-2007 04:15 AM

works fine for me eunos

XxGoKoUxX 12-26-2007 04:16 AM

the welds are the problem by the way.... not the manifold itself.... so you need not worry about the material :)

Eunos_roadsterna6ce 12-26-2007 04:20 AM

did you have to do any welding gokou?

XxGoKoUxX 12-26-2007 04:22 AM

as of today, not yet.....manifold hasn't cracked on me.... in 3-4 years now :)

Eunos_roadsterna6ce 12-26-2007 04:31 AM

then why would i need to get a begi one thn???? and i dont want to change my setup with a new mani...the mani i got now looks just like the obx one....but i'm sure obx is betta quality...

XxGoKoUxX 12-26-2007 04:44 AM

yea... me and magna have the OBX, and one other person, we have no problems at all, and they're running bigger turbo's than me :)

i think i know what mani ur talking about.... if i could change time i would just get begi or some named brand =(

Eunos_roadsterna6ce 12-26-2007 04:46 AM

if it doesn't crack..i will be happy with it...

XxGoKoUxX 12-26-2007 04:51 AM

lol it's not that hard to take out the mani... you'll be fine :) just take it to welder and get it re-welded if it cracks

Eunos_roadsterna6ce 12-26-2007 04:53 AM

How did 1-2 years turn into 3-4 years in 4 weeks?

Also, this guy, who said his OBX manifold was holding up great, was complaining after a MONTH that it had cracked 3 times.

https://www.miataturbo.net/forum/sho...acked+manifold

But hey, what do I know. My BEGi manifold did 7,000 miles since July, including 8 track days. No cracks. 15psi from a GT2554R, dynoed at 219whp on a shitty timing map at Thanksgiving.

XxGoKoUxX 12-26-2007 05:01 AM

it's almost 2008... i count this as the 4th year :) previous semster was my 3rd year

bryantaylor 12-26-2007 08:01 AM

Magna doesn't have the OBX manifold, he has the SSAutoChrome Manifold....there's a bit of a difference....however, the difference isn't in quality.

The OBX is flanged for a t3, it's cheap and WILL eventually crack....just as easily as your SSAC stuff WILL crack....and yes Manga's has cracked, and so have various other member's here who have tried it.
