I have a brand new obx turbo manifold that I just bought. please give me opinions on if i should use it or not. i hear the ramhorn is the best style but it cracks easier! if i decide not to use it im gonna SELL IT!!!

 

anyone?

 

I'd sell it. Depending on your mods, your best bet will be a ported stock manifold.

 

It isn't a stock or tubular manifold point.
It isn't a ramhorn design that is prone to cracking.
Is the OBX manifolds in general that are very poor welded, and use very bad steel.

 

^ aka sell it lol

 

haha thanks guys!

 

it looks good, but I agree with just sticking with stock.

as for obx being crappy, I have a header on my se-r from them and the only reason it ever cracked in the 5 years I have had the header was because I bottomed out and it instantly cracked it. the metal has never rusted. my $.02

 

well id say ditch it cuz look at that manifold good luck tryin to bolt that on the turbo... imo find out who sold that to ya and go beat there a$$...hahah jk but by the looks of it look like you need a ewg for it...id say ditch it nothin says power like stealthyness haha ported stocker will make maybe 1-2 hp less then that if that, maybe more, imo sell it

 

Doesnt look like a twinscroll manifold... and also the wg should be going to the other side IMO because you will be running your dump tube right past your intake and compressor. Are you planning on going to a t3 style turbo? We need more details about your car to suggest what to do. As for the quality, you get what you pay for. I have had a Megan racing exhaust manifold on my evo for 3 years now with NO issues what-so-ever. The key to them is just to make sure that you dont have the manifold supporting the weight of your turbo and half the exhaust lol. The majority of cracking exhaust manifolds is due to the stresses casued by this.

 

Sorry for these... )))
But my 3sgte OBX Cracked after 1 month...

My advise.
FOR SALE
