Default OBX Turbo Mnaifold

well...

on the way back from florida yesterday, my exhaust manifold cracked...and i had to drive 700 miles with the worst exhaust leak ever.

The worst problem is that the manifold is cast and i cant repair it
If it was stainless at least i could reweld the peice.

...so here is what i found

OBX but worth a try!

there are ways of repatching cast, but none are worth it imo.

nice, talk about ***** off the line ;) it was so hard making the change to the box, but with the GReddy sc on there it isnt as bad, but it will never feel like my GP did off the line.
