never seen it but it looks realy nice.
Looks pretty nice, much cheaper than the venom. Does it have the stock size tb opening?
Id prolly go with a 2.3 manifold though.
looks very good, venom but cheaper
I am not to sure on the tb size.
~Boost. Its what's for dinner!~
uhm... im leaning twords it actually being a Venom intake... it looks EXACTLY like mine.
GHEY its $175.00 though, i paid $315.00 for mine.
LoL,
Yeah Venom manifold knock off,
But still, worth a look.

Remember....syringes go in the RED waste basket.
i wonder if its actually a different one... or if OBX is just selling the venom's now.
when i got my manifold it didnt have the venom sticker on it... (much like the one pictured in the link) but honestly... i think its the venom, maybe just de-badged to sell under a different name?

I agree with ZYAAA. I just saw his manifold yesterday and they look exactly the same. The only difference I can see is the price. The one on ebay looks like a good deal to me.
FORGET GIRLS GONE WILD WE HAVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING GONE WILD!
obx = copies other companies parts , made be cheap child labor overseas
so its basicily a copy of venom's , and should have the same flaws that venom had with the theirs

what are these "flaws" your referring to? i dont see a ONE in mine....i think venom did one hell of a job with it, the welds look very nice, inside and out, the intake flange is absolutly flawless, it even has the lil "inlets" slashed into the ports for the head's lil vaccum hole. and the polishing is bar-none some of the best work ive ever seen.
no... its not worth $800 IMO... but its certainly well worth the $315.00 i paid for mine. and this one going for $175.00 is even better, someone should jump right on that ish!!!
well hopefully obx took care of the big 1 , the tb flange being wrapped and hole size issue
hopefully they give you a flange adapter for the NON-EGR motors , but it does like they thought ahead and gave a area for a bolt on flange for the egr , that looks re-useable , instead of punching a hole out of the tube like venom
only reason ida bought a venom would been for high boost , or got it dirt cheap , you paying 315 isnt bad , more than ida paid , but still a hell of a deal compared to regular price
only time will tell if the obx intake is worth it or not , what would be nice is to see some flow #'s compared to the venom , and a comparison of the 2
my venom came with a removable plate bolted on it for the EGR, so thats fine.
as for flow #'s, i honestly cant say either way... im going to dyno my car this summer, but ive added a lot of other mods, so i really wont know what the venom gained me, if anything.
i really dont think this "obx" manifold is anything different, ill bet you side by side its exactly the same, OBX pry ripped off the dimensions and numbers for the venom. either that... or its actually a REAL venom, just sold by OBX.
well i just ordered one. we shall see soon how it is
If I'm weird and everyone else is weird, does that make me normal?
-me
Versus Motorsports really @!#$ sucks
and so does DHL...but more
ill get 1st hand experence with it , since ill be installing the 1 for todd above ^^^^
ill let you all know my thoughts
i thought venoms was a punch out plate , musta changed it , or all the pics ive seen are before the piece was removed
Be interesting to see.
Let us know your findings.
Doesn't look like it comes with the block off plate though.
Bleh.

well have pics before and after , and comments before during and after , and impressions while driving

may I ask how can it be a knock off from venom? you got pictures of venom intake vs obx? maybe next time you people start learning about the product before you knock on the company's product.

Well, alot of OBX products are knock-offs from other companies...... Not saying its a completely bad thing.......
Venom has a listing for the 2.2ohv, 2.2eco, 2.3Quad4, 2.4Twin Cam....... I've only seen the 2.2 Eco and 2.4 Twin cam manifolds. There was some for the 2.3 on ebay awhile ago, but it had the genaric manifold pic in the discription.
I was actually thinking of picking up one of these...... maybe I'll wait till Eric gets a chance to look it over.
