i hear the holes dont line up real good. the throttle wheel rubs on it.
Im a Xbox 360 fanboy...and damn proud of it!!
looks like a chromed out version of the stocker (YES IM CAPTN OBVIOUS FTW)
ive seen a few people ask if anyone has installed and has dyno sheets over stock to compare it with the 2.3 HO and LO manis
havent seen anyone do it yet though...

There was a thread with pics awhile ago on how this manifold did not work very good.
15.2@89mph 2.171 60ft. 9.830 1/8 R.I.P. "LULU"
yeah it fit like crap
friend bought it and i tried it on a motor ive got sitting outside the car , it was horrid
how hard would it be to make fit?
Bolt holes are but a small problem that can be fixed fairly easily. The worst part are the runners don't even come close to lining up. So you would have to make a seperate adapter, weld and dremel a flange that matches, or port match the head to the manifold...on top of all of the problems already stated. If you really want an aluminum manifold, either go with the Venom or 2.3L manifold. This is one of the cases where OBX F***ed up horribly in copying someone elses product. Stay clear this one.

"Youth in Asia"...I don't see anything wrong with that.
Venom is overpriced. the 2.3 HO manifold might be your best bet

^^^^ I would go with the 2.3 HO mani. looks much cleaner and you will pick up a lil more hp
99z for 2015.. I'm back bitches
Actually the Venom is alot nicer looking,if your going for the clean 'n' shiny thing

aww come on phil, you saw my venom intake saturday. tell me that mine doesnt look amazing!!!!!
as for a performance standpoint, idk.. mine gets really hot, so hot in fact you cant touch it for long. this is where i think the stocker proves to be a better manifold, BUT. as ive said many times over and over again, many do not a will not believe me. but the venom manifold is actually lighter then a stocker. the HO manifold is a heavy beast and requires modification to flow properly, or an adapter flange not to mention you have to freaking re locate a lot of things, extend wires etc, and come up with an intake system.
i love my VENOM, it bolted on perfectly, no issues whatsoever with fitment or quality. it really is a nice item. i gave a tad over 300 for mine brand spaking new off a hurtn seller on ebay, and that is no where near overpriced. but to find a deal such as that again would be a miracle.
^^^^HA I knew you were gonna' chime in!!!

i bought a venom off ebay for around 250. i would never pay full price. i did have the problem of the throttle wheel interfering with the intake, so thats not just an OBX problem. had to grind it down a lil bit. problem solved

you know, come to think of it so did i, but it was the throttle cable stop on the TB itself, i had to cut off like an 1/8 inch of it for the TB to correctly on the flange. not a big deal whatsoever though.
i love my 2.3 HO manifold =P hahah
i had to chime in too
the picture doesnt show the Ice/flake in the paint... on a bright day it sparkles like a Kandy/Ice Paint job...
when can i get the 2.3 or the venom intakes at?
2.3 from a junk yard ... or browse the regional forums around here...
Mid East has seen like 10 of em exchange hands within a 2 - 3 months...
at the junk yard... you should be able to find the 2.3 LOs all day long... the 2.3s are a little harder...
read through this thread to see whether you want the LO or the HO ...

Contact the kid name Paul Tjepkes on this board, he can probably source one, grind off all the tabs, sand it and paint it so it looks uber sexay. He did one for a guy named mastin on here, as well as a couple for himself.
Here is the link to his profile.
