The types of failures I see happening with the OBX manifold won't happen overnight; they'll take a while to develop. If you want to buy a new manifold every year, then go for it; but I always try to look for a solution as permanent as possible.

Your right. The thing people don't understand is diffrent people have diffrent ideas of what's worth it and what they can afford. I have a descent amount of "fun income" so for me a manifold that last a year and makes my car drive perform like I want it to(that's assuming it kicks at a year as my xs held up longer than that) it's worth it to me. I don't usualy keep my setup the same for a year anyway I'm constatntly changing shit anyway. Diffrent strokes
