I know that one RS4 has those, but I don't know anything else. They have been on about five months or so. The other manifolds turbo end had to be cut and welded because it didn't fit well.

Look nice but are they that much different from the XS-POWER ones? (or SS-AUTOCHROME). I think they are all the same.

they seem far better quality than the XS-Power ones.
They have a life-time warranty too.

No one has them?

Oh, take a look at these manifolds:

The same OBX manifolds, but they say they're made of 304 steel...(in the other link they say they're made of 321 steel)....

UHM............

Does the lifetime warrantee cover damage caused to other far more expensive components caused by their failure?

Yes, that's what I figured too.

OK decided to make some mods:
had the inside of them welded....

before:

After:

not totally perfect but better than I could do my a mile!

Im going to smooth them out using a carbide bit and I need to cut a tiny ammount out the flange to have them fit perfectly on the NA 2.8 heads...

Still debating whether to use the standard manifold gaskets or the ones supplied with the XS manifolds.......hmmm

have you guys seen the GenerationJDM manifolds?

Post by **okkim** » Tue Apr 22, 2008 11:37 am

Those are very nice, but also much more expensive than the these XS-power manifols
