I'm going with Chinese/Ebay based on what appears to be poorly aligned bolt spacing on the turbo flange. Could certainly be wrong though.

i just checked the spacing on the bolt openings and they are on the money.
Poor angle of the photo shot is all.

At least you admitted you could be wrong. It's a Greddy manifold...

the craftmanship in the welds and material along tells me it's not Ebay.
I know someone knows which one it is, the true I.D. of this unit.

T4 OBX manifold for an FD. The later SSAutoCrappers had slight variations, like the gay "D" shaped turbo flange and they also used one piece runners. The older OBX manifolds were multi piece runner units and had square flanges along with nice looking welds and nice little braces. Its just too bad they used cheap metal and didn't make any type of smooth transition on the outter part of the runners were it meets the turbo flange.

it looks like the new Generation ones come with thicker welds and a manufacturer's plate welded on waste gate runners.

Looks like a copy of a greddy to me. You have a pic of the runners off the exhaust ports?

Its an OBX! Not a GReady, not SSAutoCrapper (although SSAutoChrome used to sell the OBX before they out sourced their own, which is now the most common seen cheap eBay FD manifold) seriously... I'm 110% sure. I'm not just going off pictures, I've owned one before. The OBX tag is simply held in place by 4 tiny welds and could easily fall off or be pride off.

Looks like a direct replica of the Greddy. I have one in my possession and it's IDENTICAL. Many companies copy them so I guess it's up in the air. But I will say it almost does look like there are snapped spot welds missing on the manifold...

+1 it is an OBX. I have it and I have to give it to OBX...have come a far way! It will work for your needs as long as you add extra supports for strength.

The OBX manifold in question appears to perhaps be a knock-off of a Feed manifold.
