Still like new after a few yrs of abuse at 14 psi. Pretty sure it's more then a cool g, but I'm not sure the exact cost as I was sponsored by MAM back in the day.

Bryan, the OBX seems troublesome after reviewing others trial and tribulations, though some have been fine. I've consider it though. My view is this: Sometimes you actually pay for quality, sometimes you just pay for hype and a Name, that's why i'm so cheap, because I know what these things can cost, but hey, Business is Business, and business = Making $$.

i hear you... the obx is not the best piece out there, but it is available and it is cheap. what's the normal failure for those? cracking in the welds? you can always get that fixed or reinforced. i think the one in the fs already has some of that done. pm coming by the way.

obx cracks in weld places, but its mainly caused by the main flange that bolts on the head. I did a stress cut on my obx mani, cut themain flange between the runners, it relieves the metal expension stress. After that my mani still hold strong, 3 years and counting.

if you need EWG , i have an extra TiAL F38 BLACK TOP brand new with 7.25psi spring and the matching dump pipe flange for it.
