boost brothers headers

anyone have any experience with these? they have a warranty so i figure they will be decent and there WAY cheap compared to others

While I can't comment on their headers for the 05-up cars, I have a car here with their turbo kit on a 95 GT. The fitment is awfull. The flanges are warped and they use the cheapest of parts. I would stay far away from a company like this. Remember, the best deal may not be the cheapest.

There right. they wk for the money but be warrned. you will need the fallowing tools to install. 1 propane torch to heat up some spots,1 ball peen hammer, 1 5# mall for bigger jobs, 1 rubber mallet, 2 3' pry bars and a very good friend, after that they will fit.. look at stage 3 they have pace setters that fit really good for the price.

If your looking for inexpencive LT's look at OBX, I have had mine for over a year now and they are badass. Best money spent.

i keep hearing good things about pypes headers, good price and good quality

A sticky with info concerning the most frequently asked about modifications and different brands of them seriously needs to be made.

Well if you want a set I am getting ready to take a set off my car. Not because I have had any problems with them I fixed all the clearance issues and they dont rub with torque limiters and motor mounts. They just sit to low below the frame rail and drag in my driveway and at my wifes work and I am scared one day it will rip one of the pipes off the header. So I am putting a set of Pypes lt's on they arent full length and dont hang below the frame rail.

I have done a complete write up on the install of Boost Brothers headers.

We have decided to do a little write up on installing Boost Brothers long tube headers. This is a fairly easy task when you have access to a lift. Quartermile Solutions in Houston had this job done in less than 2 hours.

Lets Begin.....

Our test subject for this is a 2008 Saleen, owned by David Nguyen.



To begin we removed the battery and tray to give more access to the passenger side manifold.



As you can see there is plenty of room now to get to the bolts.



Time to move to the driver side. Here you can remove the rack and pinion bolt. An impact is the fastest way to get it out. You will be there all day with a ratchet, one click at a time.



Now lift the car into the air. Locate the steering shaft and remove the bolt holding it to the rack.



as you can see, the shaft will not come off of the rack. Refer to illustration #4. using a pry bar. gently move the rack forward and the shaft will slide off.



Start by unplugging the O2 sensors



Remove the factory catted h pipe.





With the cats out of the way you can now remove all the top nuts on the manifolds.




With all the top nuts off, remove the motor mount nuts.



Lift and support the engine. remove the mounting brackets. Be careful not to damage the ground straps.



The new headers slip in with plenty of room.



With them tightened the look good at first.



The driver side header is touching the frame rail.



The steering shaft is touching the header also.



A little pounding and grinding got some decent clearance.
The new h pipe was also a fun, time consuming, and irritating experience.




All in all I would never recommend these headers to anyone. They look great while laying on the floor. In the car on the other hand, the fitment is horrible.

I hope this helps when installing your long tube headers.
