Default Boost Brothers LT's Rev 2

Anyone know if they've got the fitment issues worked out?

I'm tempted to pick up a set in December.

Also, do any of your guys with them installed have sound clips?

Screw Boost Brothers. I bought them the first go around and i tried to talk to them about my issues with the fitment and they ignore all emails and dont even pick up the phone. Yeh they are cheap, but i promise you, if i can do it over, i would go with Macs. The knocks all over the car are just not worth it. Ruins a perfectly good car IMO. Im about to take them out and put stockers back on.

well if they've got the fitment issues worked out then for $250, you can't beat them.

I still don't have sound clips

Here's my updated synopsis on the first batch that was made:

The Good:

Cheap
Noticeable power increase
Still no rust
Thick flanges
Did I mention these were cheap?

The Bad:
Pretty terrible fitment
Both headers rub somewhere on the frame

The Ugly:
Headers will fit, with a ton of elbow grease and a pocket dictionary loaded with four letter words.

Input:
I hope the revised ones are fixed, because that's all that is needed for these cheap *** headers to be golden. That and maybe improved customer service. If I had the choice to do it again, I would have gone with BBK's or MAC's. But for the price, they are a cheap alternative. You get what you pay for.

Final Grade: C-

i wouldnt even recommend you giving them a chance. Its stated that they offer 1 year warranty, but they will just run with your money. No warranty what so ever offered. They will ignore customers if they say they have a problem with a product of theirs. Anyone who conducts that style of business should not even be considered. I didint know this before i purchased, but now i do.

I had the same mentality as you, its just 250, but you forget the amount of time and effort you will have to put out to just make it fit OK, meaning still rubs.(dont turn your car into a rattling machine) No matter what, every time i fix one spot, another one arises and the knocks will just continue. I am embarrassed of the fact that i bought the headers, shop people who do work on my car just make fun of how i would put such a POS product onto my beautiful car and make its ride quality feel like a 20 year old car with tons of rattle.

Sorry for the rant, but the impression Boostbrothers left on me is disgusting...
