    damn $850??? Thats 1/3 of what toda wants for the same thing. I wonder how well these will perform. name brands mean nothing to me. I don't care if they are pep boys no name super street nopi street glow ITB's... If they make power, I might pick up a set.

    i bet obx has never tested them for flow, fuel puddling etc... it says in the description "4. Airflow bench tested trumpet." ok... so they bench-flowed the velocity stacks??? hahah

    You should.. That should be a cool project.


    On the subject of these ITB's , it's kinda hard to tell from these pics but it looks well designed.....

    Sometimes a brand name isn't everything...

    I would love to see the reaction from people that spent twice as much on the Toda version if these perform similarly....

    Def interested, for my K20Z1 I have seen good numbers (238whp) from just the PRB manifold, catback, intake and K-Pro with a decent tune...I can only imagine what these would net, perhaps a nice solid 250WHP on my RSX...def beat having to fight with the expense and pain of boosting it.

    just think about the quality of the twm counterparts and then think of all the problems people had with them.

    now look at these and think about the cams and etc this same company makes.
    will these make power maybe and you will be lucky if the throttle doesn't stick open and blow your **** up. will they make more power than a custom built intake mnaifold that would cost about the same most likely not.

    OBX sucks donkey balls. You would have to be mental to put those on your car.

    i was reading a post a couple of days ago from the ebaydm guys running the obx cams and other products for over 20k miles with no problems. I guess to each his own. I have run cheaper grade products with no problems but at the same time I dont like relying on a maybe.. I would def. like to see a reputable shop do a comparo just like they have with the standard IM's and Headers.

    I think you will just see more people running around with ITB's as bling factor.

    Making power with ITBs requires the right cam/compression setup, lots of people on HT have lost power with the TODA itb's when used on stock long block.

    It's not like TODA Itb's are perfect either, my friends k20a swapped ek had them and he switched back to oem manifold because the itb's would get stuck open at times and he'd be sitting at a light and the motor wouldnt drop below 4k, 6k etc ha ha ha

    It wont be the itbs that are gonna blow peoples engines, it's the people that try to tune their obx itb's themselves that are gonna blow their motors.
