To clear things up for the above fellow, someone figure out the gauge piping or the wall thickness of the tubing on the Obx unit. There is a reason there are no copyrights to exhaust manifolds, there just isn't that many ways to do it...

As you can see the Flange is very thick, I serisously doubt the OBX unit is anywhere near close.

Have you guys ran one of these manifolds on a car yet to test it out? I ask because sometimes bracing is the cause of a manifold cracking apart. When the tubing expands faster than the brace you'll get a crack where the brace is attached to the tubing.
BTW, you're a lucky SOB to work in a shop like that... These have already been ran on serveral 3rd generation Rx-7s. Yes Dave I am now in Arizona, these units are made in the family owned Exotic shop. They were actually made a long time ago, I believe over a year. They just never surface until I came down. |
Here is the manifold I was sent by Davinchi. I think it's OBX/SSauotchrome.

lighting didn't turn out as I had planned, the coating is actually a more goldish color.

Your family owns an exotic shop? You bitch. I thought my great uncles Harley shop was the **** but we don't have any pimp ass exotics laying around. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif |
Dave can you take a picture of the 1st Large picture I posted on this page entitle " closeups". It appears that your Davinci unit uses much smaller diameter main runners.

Well they do look some what wider. Best way to tell for sure would be to wrap an seamstress tape around it for a proper measurement. However it's pretty obvious that the two are totally different. The one you posted inages of has a three piece pipe and the Davinchi is one piece. Look at the welds and one can easily see the difference. I would like to buy one as well but as Martin mentions the down pipe most likely will not fit. Chances of the turbo being in the same spot is pretty f-ng slim. Too bad to because the manifold looks pretty sweet. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif
