Interesting, you may wanna poke around, Other then the iffy quality of OBX, i thought most didnt use it b/c it interfered with the T-stat.. I thought thats why they phased out super quick. Just bad R/D..
There was deff posts about the crappy welds and it not being beefy enuf to support the weight over time and cracking. if i recall correctly.. thats why most dont rock it, since its pretty cheap..Idk, i could be wrong.
didn't search much then

Thinking and looking not, its not equal length is it?
Calm Down , it will be OK. I guess i figured you would have searched, since thats what most ppl with a decent setup do.. Esp when trying to make a good HP goal on a uner rated platform such as the 420a.. EVERY hp COUNTS.. sorry i assumed..
I take pride in my car to and do all my own work as well..I never said you couldnt fab, or fix it.. Im trying to give you a head up on the issues you may face. But Its your BBQ. If you are so good at fabbing why not make your own instead of fixing china's mistakes? If it doesnt clear the hood, then Welding and cutting Probably wont do much for you.. Just tryin to help, smart one... seeing as your new and all..
GL with your build, hope everything works out for you. You deff made a good choice with the turbo.
Its all good. i hope it works for you, its better then payin the 800 . But, being its OBX, they dont have the best rep for fixing or warrantying anything. : )
yeah i am not too worried... it was only $160... i have ate way more than that in this car ... true money pit... Vin Diesel couldnt of said it better himself... "not a bad way to spend $10k" and its even funnier and more ironic he was saying that about an eclipse with a 420a
where did you buy this manifold? I'm interested in it and would like to hear about its clearance when you put it on.
Bought it, been running it for over 1,200 miles+ and so far so good, all 20psi of it too.......... <img src="http://www.dsmtuners.com/gallery/files/2/2/9/7/3/engine1.jpg" alt="New Engine Setup" />
Still no problems? O and know t stat issues?
