Obx has had their issues but I think it has been more about fitment then anything else. In my opinion fitment is probably the most important aspect of a manifold and I am definitely worried about fitment after looking at that pic because most manifolds now for the tC offset the turbo more to the driver’s side. Maybe someone can buy one and try it out . I have seen a regular NA header last from them and it was dirt cheap (Civic D-series) and there has been no cracking with that. Also if you are still worried about cracking I guess I should mention that there is a lifetime guarantee on manufacture defects and cracking.

Definitely looks good in pictures. It's way more attractive than any log out there and one thing it's got over the GReddy manifold - external waste gate. Now if only a reputable name was behind that manifold. If that company can't make a shift **** that stays together then hell, I don't want my exhaust to run through that their products.

Manifold does look pretty sweet if i got it i would defiantely have soem reinforcement tabs welded on and all the other welds gone over. It also seems a little pricey for an obx manifold $400?

Looks great! However it will crack and it also hangs the turbo in the... really wrong spot from the pics... downpipe is gonna have a heck of a time clearing the water line.
