also.....one thing you should keep in mind man when buying a OBX/VENOM style intake manifold is that those manifolds dont accomodate every vaccum hose you might have attached to your existing manifold, and if you have a h22 like i do, it will cause you more hastle to get an after market manifold and trying to make everything fit (i.e: pcv valve, icv valve, fuel presure regulator hose, etc). i was looking into getting a obx manifold myself not too long ago, i even started a forum just like this one asking if anyone had one and were they happy with it but as i did research..it would have costed me more time and custom fittiment to accomodate important vaccum lines to make everything work. the only one i know that accomodates maybe 95% of you vaccum lines that u will need is the SKUNK2 manifold,
overall bro...OBX is a company that makes cheap aftermarket produtcs for people that dont want to or cant afford to get the overpriced yet high quality, custom fit products. like everyone else said...be prepared to spend some time modifying for fittiment and maybe some money on tools or nuts/ bolts you may need....i agree with you when u say this shit is overpriced but for the extra $50-$100 bucks more...it will save you alot of hastle!!!
