Default OBX Intake manifold or Skunk 2?

Allright guys, As you know I'm new here. I've been doing some research and it seems that both Intake Manifolds are very similar made. I believe they're trying to replicate the GSR IM. I know that OBX isn't the best company out there, but I wanted to get some opinions if anybody is running this. Plus the fact that you'd be saving close to $100 on it. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum, bro.

In the grand scheme of things $100 isn't that much so I would say that the Skunk2 is a no brainer.

You would be happier with Skunk at the end.

Thanks guys, I was leaning toward the Skunk 2 anyway. Would anybody recommend the Skunk 2 TB, or any other to go with the Skunk 2 IM?

post a pic of the OBX manifold you are looking at. a couple of their designs are the exact same as S2, so if thats the case, you might as well save the money and get the OBX.

yea that picture you posted, is not like the skunk2 design, you can tell the runners are not tuned like Skunks are, they're just straigh and cut.
