Boost Brothers LT header reviews???????

I have an opportunity to buy a set of stainless Boost Brothers LT headers with an off-road h-pipe. They are new in the box and the seller is local. I have had a hard time finding any worthwhile info on these headers. The only negative I have found is a fitment issue. Evidently the header comes into contact with the steering shaft unless there is some sort of modification (motor mounts, putting a small crease in the header). Does anyone have experience with these headers?

BTW I did see the TMS member that posted the video. He stated the headers came into contact with the steering shaft as well.

Thanks guys.

Unless you can get them for a stupid cheap price I wouldn't bother with anything that would need to be modified because it comes in contact with the steering column shaft. Remember that even if you just clearance it, it could still lockout the steering when going around a fast corner because of the engine rolling. (I had that with the frpp shorties and nearly shat my pants as I was forced onto the wrong side of the road going around a corner because the steering locked out)

I have them and say if you get them cheap enough get them. They did hit the steering shaft but the new solid motor mounts fixed that. I didn't dent them either.

Well he wants $500 for the headers and midpipe. Once I add the $$$$ for motor mounts and the additional labor I could prob just go with my first choice JBA's for the same price and no issues.

I might have missed something here, but Boost Bros. are selling their LTs and midpipe for $225 with $42 shipping on eBay. It's not a BIN, but once a set has been sold a new set is posted up. They usually go for $225-$230.

Everything I've heard about Boost Bros. has been negative. Search for feedback on this and other forums, you'll find it.

The question to ask yourself is: how many times do you want to have to swap lt headers?
