Wonder how long before these bad boys crack ;)

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

I love how full-race is crying about it over at HT saying its killing the industry.

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

Ya, that ---- cracks me up, I dont think these manifolds are going to crack anytime soon, they are made out of 321, not the gay ---- they used to use, and its WAY thicker.

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

A quote from the Full-Race intake manifold thread... "Pricing is expected to be ~899, but working to keep it low (hopefully 799)."

You call 800 ------- dollars low? ??? If Full-Race lowered their insanely high prices maybe they would get more business.

Do you guys realize that this actually hurts our industry? Its easy to rip something off, the hard part is innovating. Keep ripping off the innovators, and soon there will be only rip offs and nothing new.



Yeah I love how they are complaining that affordable parts are going to kill the import industry ::) I'm sure kooks manifolds felt the same way when Full-Race ripped off the original design.

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

Yeah, if everybody would just stop selling oil lines, I could bump my price up to $250. LOL :D


It's not killing the industry, it's killing thier profit margin. It makes more products more inexpensive to more consumers. There comes a point when your profit margin can hurt your overall service though. When manufacturers try to match low prices of a competitor, it usually equals less profit per product/service, which IS a bad thing for the consumers.
It's a balance, but at some point you have to recognize that OBX really isn't a competitor of thiers. They are two different qualities. :-\

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

I hate to admit it but that piece LOOKS good, no comment on quality/performance, but they did say it's made out of 321.

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

I'm still waiting for somebody to try out the LSD.

Gee, I wonder why a company would complain about somebody selling the same product for cheaper? ::) I can't ---- money(Yes, I have tried)so I'm not about to spend $30,999 on a ------- manifold from them. If they want to stay competitive, lower those god damn rediculous prices.

Competition is good for business anyways. :-\

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

daymn, beside the fact that it might ---- up your tranny, the lifetime warranty isn't bad at all!!!

Re:OBX's new manifold..

---- i thought i was outside the quote

wtv as long as You understand

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

LMAO...me neither...
The guy with 500 hp had good luck with it..
But I don't know if i'm staying D-series...I may go B-series soon. And spending that much money for a D-series tranny would kinda suck if I went B-series in a few month's.

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

Damn that manifold doesn't look too shabby. If it was $150 to $200 I might consider buying one, but for $400, I'd rather pay -------- to make me one.

And Sem, your problems are solved here. ;)

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

I know they have it for B-series...it's just that I'm running a D-series right now....

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

d series 4 life.

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

LMAO....but when you hit the brick wall of 300hp you'll be thinking it over again..., or have to spend a lot of dough building the D-series head etc...

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

pff. thats why you make it a daily driver and build yourself a b series weekend warrior.

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

:PI want a badass daily driver ripping 400 ponies

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

thats funny how everyone's realizing how d-series motors are worthless.

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

They are not worthless though...good learning bases...and good for someone not wanting more then 200ish to 250ish if pushing a ZC hp from a stock honda engine that is cheap an replacable.
It's just I want some reliable 300ish to 400 hp

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

yeah d series motors are really shitty..i know somebody that has a 450hp d16y8 that will hopefully be making 500hp soon.

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

holy ----.. they all but stopped selling the "first generation" piece of ------- ---- manifold... Usually when i type "b16 turbo manifold" into ebay's search, i get 450 different SSautochrome, now i get about 6.. a couple "revhard" manifolds, some assclown selling an HF as a "b seires turbo manifold" and these new OBX manifolds.

I'd buy one, they look ------- bad ass :O

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

If he put that money into a B-series he would be making over 500. I have a D-series myself, I thought about building it but its just not worth it compared to what a b-series can do

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

You're not my good buddy anymore. :( I think I'm goin to take my D series toys and go home. I don't want to play with you anymore. :(

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

yeah this is true, but a d series swap costs less than a b series so it almost evens out. and plus its cooler to have a 500hp d series rather then a 600hp b series :P

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

preach it bro.
I think people are praising D-series because they have no other choices. I don't think there are that many people that would choose a D over a B if both were being offered.

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

I'm only building a B series so I can talk ---- about them with experience. (that's what I tell everyone) :-X

I will never give up on the true Home made motor choice. ;)

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

I keep changing my mind every day on what a d-series motor is worth. I have a shortblock that I was thinking about building but I just don't think its worth it. It seems like a lot of money and your not even going that fast. I've been ------- around with this d-series for a while and think about back in the days of my GSR where I built a turbo kit and was running 12's out of the box on street tires. We even just did my buddy's LS who just did a 12.7 street tires, and stock everything. When LS swaps are only $500 its hard to justify putting $1000 into a D-series just to keep up. In the end, depending on how fast you want to go, the B-series is actually cheaper.

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

my friends car is daily driven and does 11.5 on bfg's..with an lsd and a set of slicks he should get into the 10's

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

B's have just more potential.
And you can rev it to 8K+ rpms if you have a vtec head....and vtec oil-pump ;D(that's for the LS/VTEC).
I also was thinking about building a D, but the money spend on it and ... is it really worth it??
I have like 3 blocks in my shed an A6 and 2 ZC's...I'll just have fun with them and boost them stock and build a LS/VTEC on the side

Re:OBX's new manifold..
 

I revved my D16Z6 to 8k daily
