Are the obx manifolds shit?

Ok im not wanting to start a shit fight i want to hear from people who have used the obx parts:inlet manifold, intake pipe, under drive pulley kits, cam pulleys and exaust headers.
I dont want to hear what you mate thinks about his mates girlfriends crap, dyno proof only.
Oh yeah one more thing remember the value for money of these parts to, dollar per horse power is what we are talking here people.

the OBX manifold takes a little modification for it to actually go on. From reading others responses who have installed this manifold on their prreludes, you have to drill your own vaccum lines into the manifold. I think there are some other mods you have to do. So, really, its not a bolt on.

ok cheers guys. Im going to get the intake pipe and filter first as its only $50
The manifold is $450 but is there going to be a noticable difference? are there cheaper proven options. Ive just priced up the pulleys and they are really expensive. Has anyone got any 2nd hand stuff they want to sell? Stuff over here is quite hard to get unless it's obx

I have no idea what car your putting the manifold on... but anyways, in my experience obx is shit, and for $450 if you're putting this manifold on a prelude you can pick one up from JHP USA for like $358 Skunk2 which boasts the longer runner pre-drilled and tapped vaccum lines connections with connectors and the IAT sensor already tapped. :clap
