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...

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.

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.
