SSauto and OBX the same thing?

Are they the same company?

no, they use to be about equal in quality though, but i think obx has stepped it up a notch or two, or three..... either he's selling them for obx, or he just has no shame and put their name on it... :P

pretty close, but no, not the same, and obx has a lot of other products too, and they've just come out with a new line of manifolds, lsd's, and a bunch of other ----. they use to be compared to ssautocuntrag, but i think that will all change very soon. they seem to have some nice products out now.

i was just actaully looking at that right now too. Even the obx ones have 'braces'. Kinda wierd.

bah, i have that exhaust. Its real quiet and nice at first... then it gets louder i think. It needs a larger resonator placed in it.

Not the same. Too much work to put the WG flange on the opposite side! OBX is on the left, SSAC is on the right. I was also looking into that same mani but the turbo flange doesnt look to be angled like the SS one. My main concern was fitting with A/C and the OBX doesnt say either way. No point in emailing to find out as I did that twice well over a week ago with no responce from either OBX or SSAC. I went with an SS anyways lol yeah I know I know. I can weld a nice fat sloppy line of wire on that bitch if it cracks. What appealed to me, and so many others, was the price. I actualy ordered off of XS-Power with the manifold, elbow, DP and flanges kit. Converting my internal gated to ecternal and it just made sense cash wise.


purple...I'm shooting for purple,blue,brown and tanned chrome with a touch of blackened warted welds from my lack of a nice gas welder :)

well, first of all, it will crack, second of all, it will take more than fatty welds to fix it, third, you have to to brace it to the actual block to even think about it lasting, fourth, the dp assembly it comes with is junk, just throw it away, it's like 2" pipe that is thin as paper and the elbo doesn't even mate up to the actual pipe (you'll see what i mean when you get it), good luck, but you would have been better off spending an extra 50-75 bucks for a good log manifol.
