You already bought it man. Throw it on there and let us know how it performs!

OBX doesn't have a good rep for quality products, but I'm sure you already know that. How is the thickness of the materials? How about the welds?

I still have not heard anything bad about the real OBX, not the ssautoshit not really an obx but advetise as one POS, If it is heavy it should be good, or better than th SS

I'd like to see how this SOB performs also.. but then again at $400 might as well add another 100 and get the real deal from some custom fabs

i ordered one for a friend and it was shipped to my house. They look alright, The collector as usual has alot of room for improvment, but is pretty decent, and will most definatly get the job done. It is pretty heavy, and they used slightly better materials this time around i think. But they still have dim-witted morons putting them together because the plate that says obx was tacked on upside down...

its actually heavy which is the only thing i like about it. ill take some pics of it since we just started to install it the welds look machine made and that maked me feel better about it. we will see yeah it is paid for so ---- it i paid 475.00 shipped with a 3" dp which looks awesome i wont be using it cause my flange for my turbo is a 7 hole t3.

my turbo is a ar .63 t3 turbine and a ar .70 compressor hopefully it will work out good thanks for the feedback guys

just in case it does break, you should attach a small chain to your block and turbo

The one that i rcvd had some fuced 40mm 4 bolt flange on it, and the dp was made for the wrong side of the turbo. But the quality is getting better.
