#101296, "OBX Manifolds, do any of them fit??"


          

I am on my second OBX turbo manifold, and still does not fit; although it bolts up! The first one is the stainless one that has upside down bolt pattern (I figure this is for a neon). The new bull ram equal length manifold bolted up, but sits 2 inches too high to close the hood (not to mention the bolt pattern was extremely crooked and took 2 hours to line the holes up again with a rasp).
Anyone else have these problems with OBX stuff? The OBX intake manifold doesn't fit worth a crap either!!

everything I have read about the obx mani points to them being crap. I think most people just open up the stockers to flow better.

Yea. There are a lot of posts about OBX manifolds being junk. The turbo exhaust manifolds don't fit well if they fit at all. The intakes need work just to bolt up. Sorry. =(

Why is obx still in business if they're putting out crap like that?

Their manifolds dont line up.

Their diffs aren't machined correctly.

Do their exhausts even fit?

I've seen one OBX manifold bolted up to our cars and CI did it. Not sure what they all had to modify, but they had before pictures on this site somewhere and the manifold would hit the thermostat housing.

Because they have shiney parts emoji !

I got one installed and it is crap. It bolted up fine but just barely fit between the engine and the firewall. It needed a lot of porting and grinding and massaging to get it close to acceptable inside. I'm hoping to get a dyno number on it sometime.
