okay i am looking to buy this obx mani from ebay but just want to ask people here to see if any own one with a t25 flange??? it said on the add that its a t25 flange...but i just to trust it...cause i can't find one that is t25 flange on google...hehehe...let me know guys....thanks

 

it is.... u can fit 16g's on it apprantly.... and T3 turbo's, any turbo that fits the DSM downpipe apparantly

 

alright thanks GOKOU DBZ...hehehe...

 

Christ, don't you people read anything on this forum? That manifold is a piece of ****. Everything on eBay regarding manifolds and downpipes are generally pieces of ****, 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 *knock on wood*

 

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????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????

 

works fine for me eunos

 

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

 

did you have to do any welding gokou?

 

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

 

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...

 

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 =(

 

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

 

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

 

it takes time to take it off...and i have enough of this china mani.....its crack in five different places...in a week....thats a killer....

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

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.

 

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

sorry for the miscommunication o great wun

 

add me to the list of my OBX mani is fine

 

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.
