Not the SSAUTOCHROME one. The OBX yes, but the SSAUTOSCHROME one is very nice. We beat the crap out of them and have had no failures yet. Can't beat them for what they can be had for!

yeah...eric charged me $650 for one of those pos manifolds

Are you saying the OBX is a POS or the SSautochrome one?

I am one of the owners of DaVinci Motorworks. We use SSAUTOCHROME manifolds on our kits as they allow us to keep the price down. Before you do anything let Dave and Martin post their experiences with them. There are a few people here that don't trust the manifolds and I'd rather either prove them right or wrong before I do anything else with the kits.

We DO NOT, or WOULD NEVER use anything from OBX. Not even if Steve Kan said so.

I picked one up for $100 today. I will fit it, try it, and give an independent review.

Update: I received the manifold yesterday. It is a beautiful piece. The flanges are nice an thick and the welds all look good. My ownly concern is that the tubes themselves feel thin.
