It's the OBx manifold and I just coated it and put a couple layers of clear coat on. It comes SS when you buy it. If someone is still selling them def pick one up they''re high underated. While I can't speak for longevity yet because I haven't seen it under boost but it's build quality is a lot better than bpeople think. |
