Re:OBX D16 manifold turbo placement

i have had a 4-2-1 header from both companies, and while the design is similar, the quality of materials & construction was nowhere near the same. I don't think they are the same manufacturer, or if they are, the OBX was spec'd way better.

i think obx usually just tags their name on overseas manufactured parts and sells them here.

i run an obx stainless muffler, no problems with that, heh.

They aren't the same, but I'd be a little leary about using anything that even resembled that pile of ---- SSauto.

they arent the same, but they are the same quality, I used both, the obx cracked after a month, the ssac I decided not to use after seeing all the negative ---- on them, so I bought a blox. I will have a brand new ssac mani for sale in 2 months.

Re:OBX D16 manifold turbo placement

Hell I'd rock an OBX mani cause I'm cheap like that but SSauto. Naw that's like a ricers dream manifold. Ooooh shiny! Plus when I get the cash I'm getting me one of them OBX LSD's! ---- 800 on a Quaife. After seeing that ssauto turbo compressor housing split inhalf I won't touch anything of theirs with my 10' pole :P
