OBX is terrible, heres my experience (56k get cable and look)

[jeterkm02]

not really sure where this post belongs, sorry, but i figured id get a fair amount of attention here, and this is where I normally post.

So here goes, I purchased this OBX manifold two months ago, and ever since then, it has needed more weld jobs than I have had to fill up my gas tank. It has just gotten to the point where im done with it and I cannot stand it anymore.

heres the view from the top, the red outlines show all the cracks that had to get rewelded.


and from the bottom, its no differant story.


where all the pipes meet? no differance.


since i couldnt weld underneath bolts, i even had to weld inside the pipes.


continuing on...

my car sounds like a lawn mower because of this crack.


and of course, the crack wraps around to the top.


im no fortune teller, but this small thin lined flaw looks like its a crack to be, a future of welds awaits this manifold.


this is why i want no more part of this manifold, look closely, the pipe is cracking.


so in conclusion, this manifold is absolutely terrible. it has been nothing but a nightmare since the first crack. the welds looks absolutely amazing, but of course, looks can be decieving. I hate it, thanks for reading. post this post anywhere you find someone looking into buying an OBX manifold. Let someone benefit from my mistake.

Ac the obx cat was alright it made my exhaust hella loud though. although it wasnt on there for long, it started to get somekind of bubbles on it, then turned brown. it was almost like it was melting away. Ill help you think about it though.... get a flexpipe

aint it gonna sound hella loud n ricey if i take out my cat n jus run a test pipe?
