Default Has someone actually ran the obx turbo manifolds

I've seen a few builds with them but none that are finished builds. I read good things on their vette long tubes and just want to make sure they're solidly built and not gonna crack on me. Also ill be running them down and forward and was was wondering if they clear stock acc.?

I have a similar set from racinginnovationandsupply.com
They are very well made But like most I'm in the middle of a restoration/build so they're not tested yet

I had a 01 TA come in with them. The down side is they are not really that thick and the flanges suck *****. He was at 810 to the wheels, They look good but Id use the Hooker Cast Iron lsx headers. Im currently going to use them on my Z

I never had any problems with them sealing but I also had a large turbo that was braced so there's wasn't that much weight for then to hold
