someone please talk me out of it

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

i would buy it.

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

why did it leak?

where?

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

what did the 5 fingers say to the face???

SLAP!!!

i'm rick james bitch.

don't buy that ----. if you're gonna buy one, go baller status and get a shitbird or a full race.

try to make another one.

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

Hotrex, Send me the manifold youre about to throw away, i'll fix it and use it.
I'll paypal you the $$$ for shipping in about 5 months when I get the manifold.

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

you should buy it, it looks like quality

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

maybe. just ask someone who had a similar problem and see if you can find a solution. if all else fails buy it. it is quality

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

Yeah just fix yours man. If its leaking from the flange, which they usualy do from warping you just need to flatten it out. You can use a LARGE belt sander or get it milled. And I'm not talking about wood belt sander I'm talking mounted to the floor 3 ft wide belt. They called the one at my machine shop the man eater.

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

Now that's funny!!!!! Make sure it is an OBX and ----, I would still try and fix yours.

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

take it to the machine shop and have it milled... thats way better than spending $450 on a new mani.

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

or get CSaddict to fab you one

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

---- that no more manifolds.

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

haha that much work hey

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

Well mine was easy. Josh's was fucked. Made one for Jordan (Mahcivic) with the collector he brought and it hit his hood so I had to cut it all down and reweld it. Flange warped a bit but on the ends so no biggie but I'm not looking to do anymore.I originally welded the flange attached to a spair head and it was perfect but after I had to cut all the tubes and re weld it warped a bit because it wasn't bolted down. Mine came out nice though! If I were to build them I would build them from scratch like mine. The BMC collector is too extreme an angle to work with. Plus Jordan got the short one and he should have picked the longer one. I finished his an hour ago. We will refit it on Sunday and hopefully it all clears!

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

for another 150 you can get a neukin manifold. but thats no downpipe also. Try that obx ish out

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

buy it. ;)

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

Looks decent Josh, but that sucks about your manifold. I know it was giving you ----.

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

Don't buy it. You know what happens to those OBX manifolds. I think everyone on here would cry if they seen a SC61 hanging from an OBX manifold.

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

well... here is something similar... but dont ask me if its better...

only noticable difference is the wastegate flange

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

since we are talking about turbo manifold look at this one... never saw this style look weird... and i'm not sure if it fit D or B

i wonder how is the flow with this.

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

wtf, it looks like a skillet :P

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

That is definetly the wierdest manifold I have ever seen period.

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

I heard SSauto makes a good manifold.

Yeah, the "cream of the crop" type mani's ;)

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

That was posted here before, and I believe the decision was, it's GAY, because you're using thermal energy to spool the turbo, and that manifold is designed to DISSAPATE thermal energy, or something, oh well, yeah it looks like a skillet.

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

What does it sound like when the manifold leaks?

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

a local guy to me makes that manifold (the skillet one) its not disgned to disipate heat energy, the fins are just there to make it look nicer. :)

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

Like a bad ticking, like your valves are .50" out of adjustment. You can't miss it. ;)

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

hotrex you n00b, ill build you a manifold. jesus.

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

i machioned theflange twice, thing ids guy belt sanded it with his tyable belt, he fucked it up the flange looks like a wedge shape and it still leaks, ima just buy a shitbird shorty

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

yeah you are a faggot and you suck at life, 5 fingers bitch

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

shitbird hasnt been too good on the shipping lately, he's pretty backed up.

bmc might get better results on time.

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

haha, the new shipping baron= shitbird

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

yea that thing is a pain in the ass, thanks for getting it done though mang, i owe you big time, looks like ill be helping you put that new turbo on this weekend too :)

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

Josh, I think I found the problem. You're an idiot. You have a perfectly good manifold that needs someone to do a GOOD job of milling it. Just get it done.


If you buy an OBX manifold, I will forever laugh at you. And for those who didn't know, SSAuto doesn't MAKE any manifolds, they sell OBX manifolds. I don't care if it's a new design or any of that ----, it's garbage and if you buy it, you are supporting terrorism. ;)

Re:someone slap me, i think im going crazy
 

---- those i bought this one on ebay 230.00 cast baby.. :P

I call chinese bull. :P I wouldn't recommend it until it's tried. OBX and that manifold are all fine products of the same country. Be careful. ;)
