I've heard decent things about them if you are boosting a fair amount of pressure. But most people that are looking at purchasing OBX boost products arent usually using them for more then 10-12 lbs and I've heard they are really inconsistant on holding lower pressure boost levels.
As with everything else, you get what you pay for

I've heard that their exhausts are ok but their other parts are questionable...if it were me I'd save for a better quality part, or if I couldn't afford one new, wait around and get a deal on a used part in good condition.

Any part that requires precision machining, or high quality materials (such as a WG or turbo) I would not trust to any company that gets 90% of their business from Ebay.
Think of the worst case scenario... valve seizes causing over boost, thus... you get the idea.
