I don't even have to click it to know that it sucks but I will just for the laugh. You get what you pay for.

Besides a dozen other problems with the kit, look where the hole for the stud is on the second runner below. It's no where near where it should be.


It also says ** our kit comes with a cast iron manifold, unlike other sellers who have stainless steel which will crack and break!** - That certainly does not look like cast iron to me (or tha actual manifold you will get)

yeah that kit looks super shady. i noticed the cast/ss manifold discrepancy as well. The manifold accepts a wastegate, but no wastegate included either. Those pipes look super generic as well.

i saw the same thing you guys saw...

BTW, that manifold is the OBX copy of the Full-race Gen-1 tubular manifold. You can buy it off of ebay for 350 with shipping. That blow off valve is an hks clone for $50, and the intercooler and tubes are generic (150) and do not fit the S2K without cutting!

The turbo is also a generic ebay t3/t4 ($250) that will probably come apart and spray your motor with lots tiny bits of metal, the first time you open it up on the dyno!

If you spec'd this out individually from ebay, it would come to about 800!

Don't touch it with a 50 foot pole, Unless you really want to throw away your money. In which case, give me the money instead!

Those welds look terrible and inconsistent.

I've seen the OBX tubular manifold on ebay before are they any good? they "appear" to look nice. One of my friends runs it on his 480whp srt-4 but im still skeptical his car is fast as hell though. OBX has been around awhile haven't they?
