Default BoostBrothers Headers Rev5?

I know back when they first made them there was a fitment issue and then rev 2 they seem to get a better fitment. Has anyone had any try with the revision 5 ones. I am really tempted on ordering a set because of the price but kinda iffy. They claim they are a 100% duplicate of the JBA's and looking at the pics they do seem to be identical in design.

considering there history I would looke at BBK or MAC. I cant imagine they are too much more expensive but you dont hear about fitment issues. I may be a little biased as I run BBKs

I guess I am going to hold out for the BBK like I originally was going to get..I was going through feedback and some said the fitment was still a issue. Not sure if it was the Rev5 they were talking about..I dont know if I want to chance it..even though they are super cheap.

i have boost brothers headers..and i had no fitment issues with the passengers side but the drivers side did rub on the steering column..but now i cant tell it rubs at first it was very bad...but u can also get a pair of engine mounts and raise the engine a half inch and you'll be ok...but at their price its well worth considering. i had to weld my h-pipe together from them it popped loose a couple of times but i still came out like $500 less than i would've paid with jba's

i think mine were rev. 2...but for $200 i couldnt argue much and with a $130 motor mounts i was still cheaper than jba's....plus installation was like$300...and i don't see in paying $1200 for the american racing for maybe 3 to 5 hp more....
