I got my OBX manifold yesterday and in the bottom of the box, with NOTHING protecting it was the gasgket I pulled it out and noticed it was bent, from bein on the bottom and under all the weight of the manifold it was bent by the flaps of the box...

Viper, I know youve built a members kit with this manifold, will this effect anthing? and did you re=enforce any of the welds? if so which ones?

Bent..bent slightly like this on both sides.


Manifold



The face of the above picture just looks kinda sh*tty. The surface isnt as clean/smooth loookin as i would expect and the ports you can see are kinda uneven

mark marcheson from exhaust technology fabricated my current manifold.

excellent result in low to mid range power.

i've previously had the manifolds from ssautochrome, t4turbotiburon.com.
