Any opinions on this one? These are going for about $75 on e-bay. I know you usually get what you pay for, but is this one any better than the OBX? One thing it has going for it (in my case) is that it's made for the FC, so it <i>shouldn't</i> need spacers to fit an FC.

That looks like its from the same SS auto people. There are multiple threads about them...all of which are not positive.

 

I have seen it in person it is crap, yes you will get what you pay for.

Yeah - avoid this one. I've seen them; they're lightweight and fail easily.

 

It pretty much is the obx manifold...just for an fc. You can have these braced and rewelded inexpensively and they are fine

 

- more or less. That is -- either more crap, or less quality. But, $75.


I briefly reviewed on here:

My Impression exactly. At this point, I do not have the resources to buy an expensive one, let alone the down time of having someone fab one up for me. This Manifold will fit the bill. I plan on adding reinforced welds with a few braces. I don't see how It won't be able to hold up. Unless someone has went to this extent and the Manifold still failed or collapsed?

They also have pretty bad reviews on the 240SX forums. Their turbo manifolds are known to crack at the welds.

 

This manifold is garbage. Reinforce it, brace it, still garbage. RETed makes a decent one, buy his and be happy you bought a quality piece that wont fail.

 

Well the HKS one isn't really better. Seeing how it doesn't align the ports properly. Man i was so pissed. It bolts up, but the ports don't match. Called HKS and they claimed that some modification has to be done to some performance parts. "it's the nature of the beast". Build quality is there. But the sheer fact that the ports don't line up just pisses me off.
