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.

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.

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.
