Where is it made?
If you have been following news reports of rat poison in pet food ingerdients, antifreeze in toothpaste and children's toys decorated with lead paint buying over seas made products is a crap shoot.

I suppose you could ask the seller where it's made and who honors the warranty. If it goes bad or is made wrong will he make it right or do you have to send it back to the factory?

the merge collertor isent the best but you see an increase up top many people have scooped these up as a cheap alternitive, and they work pretty well... just the merge collector leaves a bit to be desiered...

obx is a knock off company but they are the best knockoff comany they acually make the parts by getting a good one in this case it was a Tti long tube, and make a jig around the tti and then take a bunch of messurments and make a knockoff... like i said before the merge collector is not as good meaning the time was not spent grinding down the inside welds where the 4 tubes meet in the merge collector....

obx makes really decent well made parts for lots of cars for a good price... there about 95% as good as the real thing... some of there stuff is 100% but its the simple stuff... pretty reley able... the only neon part they make you have to watch out for is ther lsd... you need to modify it first to make it work correctly if you install it the way you get it... your passenger side axel will get stuck in the transmission never to come out again... without taking the whole transmission apart. but there are how to's to fix the obx lsd, after that it works just as well as the qualife but for half the price...
