DNP tubular ex. mani vs. OBX tubular race ex. mani

[91 GSX]

I recently got a DNP tubular exhaust manifold which I am very happy with. But I just found a OBX racing manifold for cheaper than DNP's. The OBX looks just like the $1200 FullRace mani found in the dsmtuners parts section. The way the runners loop around (2 to the left, 2 to the right) looks sweet. Made of 321 ss, but does not say anything about equal length. Questions, are they equal lenth? And are the obx exhaust manifolds better or as good as DNP. Thinking about selling my dnp, and getting the obx, mainly cause of the design style of the runners. Looks like all out FullRace manifold.

Theres a guy either 97 or 99GSTracer that has done pretty much a writeup + install and pictures on here... Just from what he says it seems that this is one of OBX flagship manifolds which are actually built quite well... Hes dynoed over 400whp on it and it seems to be holding up... I havent heard anything else though..


P.S I did an ebay search a while ago typed in OBX manifold and a few hundred of random manifolds came up and this one was the most expensive coming close to 400$ with shipping...

Thanks for your reply Turbo Monk3y. The not so funny thing about us two-legged vertebrae's is we sometimes don't think before we act. I did a forum search, keyword obx, and found a ton of debates on their exhaust manifolds. Sorry moderators. I still haven't found out if they are equal length runners, but they definetly appear to be. Or how big the inside diameter is compared to DNP's.I guess if I didn't already have the DNP, I would give them a shot. They look so cool (the ones where 2 runners go to the left and 2 to the right). Thanks again.

Function > Form ................. who cares how they look, which performs better

I have the DNP T4 manifold, and I am pleased with it. I have not fully used it yet, but I supporets the weight of massive turbos'. Turbo-Street, is using one and he is well into the 800hp range. If it works for him, I hope that it would work for you.
