OBX short runner Exhaust manifold?

[Fiascoxl]

i've searched and could'nt find any info on this manifold. it looks to be of pretty good quality and the fact that it's a "short runner" means it would resist cracking from it being a lot lighter than the "equal length" manifolds. another plus is that it comes with a external wastegate flange. Let me know what you think or if anybodies had experience with it.

Short runner has a LOWER possibility of cracking but it all comes down to how high of a quality the material is and most of all the welding.

As for the manifold you're talking I've never used it or heard of anyone using it. And looking higher quality doesn't mean anything except they've polished it superbly and being lighter is not necessary a good thing. Light metals or irons usually cannot take as much heat and will crack or warp at extreme use.

If you want a tubular I'd recommend going DNP. Their not cheap because they've proven performance and reliability. Also another good manifold is the FP Race Manifold which a cast manifold and has said he be as good as the tubular and much higher reliability of not cracking. And it is also much cheaper.
