johnny g Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 You get what you pay for with that stuff. I'd personally not buy one. It looks ok, but the quality of the material and of the welds is key. Looking at your location, if you want a good single manifold, speak to Paul Whiffin about one of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray007 Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 yeh i guess so, to be honest i dont wana spend too much on the big brands such as hks, neither do i wana bee a tight git and go so XS power, i would like to get some thing reliable in between.

Homer Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Reliable will not mean cheap. £300 is very cheap for a manifold. THe couple of OBX manifolds I've seen looked pretty good though, the welding was good and no sign of swarf, the runners are more or less equal and the collectors appeared to have decent flow. No idea if they are any good, but l'd recommend a 'proceed with caution' approach. The price is very good when compared to the XS power one, it's a massive step up in terms of quality. It's no match for the "proper" ones out there though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
