Guys, your beating a dead horse here. The reason he posted that manifold was to show everyone who may want it just how far it is off from fitting. I have always been curious...

Thanks for posting the pictures Keith, I am sure it will help at least someone out in the future.

wow the weld pnts in that downpipe are prolly gonna attract a sh1t ton of heat!

obx manis aren't that bad my friend is using one on a t04z mk4 supra makes over 500whp and hasn't cracked let, but if you are gonna sawp out stock for anything save the coin get something worth buying or a hks cast ftw!!!

like i said, poor fitment initially, but no cracks or anything.

my cheap manifold is the ONLY thing i've skimped on with this car... i am not at all worried about it. it just got to a point where iw as tired of sinking ALL my money into a car i barely drive.

thanks on the compliment i think it turned out good considering that it was the first downpipe me or my bro ever made, yea they are going to get some heat but it is all burns stainless so i dont have to worry about the piping and the welds are thick mig welds so they will be goood, the whole thing is going to be wrapped though to much heat next to everything

It looks ten times better.


The obx manifold is terrible it wont fit on a US 240sx. I got one and the flange was warped inward 2mm. Total piece of s***.

i run the original obx one with the greddy flange, perfect fitment but my car is Japanese, waste gate runner definitely wont clear US cars.
