ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    OBX manifold

    what do you guys think of the OBX turbo manifolds? any good? i was going to use a DSM manifold but the guys at the shop keep trying to talk me into the OBX.

    OBX has always been a knockoff company... and they still are. Their quality has gotten better over the years, though. I would say a new OBX manifold would be at least as good as a used DSM manifold... probably better. No modifications to make, and it's tubular steel, not cast iron.

    How much are you looking to pay for the OBX one? That's the main reason people go with the DSM manifold... price. It's not that it's better... just that it's cheap, and it works.

      I found one for a little over 200 new.
      So what you are saying is they perform about the same with the exception of not having to grind the block with the OBX and the OBX is a lot more attractive.

          Bump. I want info from someone who has some experience with one of these manifolds.

          I'm really considering buying one. I like the custom look they offer.

          Just hoping they'll hold up and provide good airflow.

              On a stock motor, our engines cant handle lots of boost.
