Just installed my Boost Brothers Header / Billy Boat Midpipe / Billy Boat Catback
....simple...LOUD AS FUUUUUKKKKKK....pretty tough getting off the factory system...almost every bolt snapped off...
As far as people having fitment issues on the b & b header, it went on just fine, I had to grind very little off the motor mount support bracket to clear the header flange. No biggie.
I might put my factory midpipe back on someday...Because...geez...I mean Its quiet when your just cruising it...but any throttle at all, echos the air half a mile away no problem lol...sigh...so loud...
ummmm, as far as power gains, I can tell the TQ is there through low to mid range rpms...the reason you cant feel it pull much harder in top end is because it balances itself out and the power is greater going into the TQ curve around 7k...But It sounds amazing I hope to post a vid soon.
Just a bit loud...uhhh, and as for the header not having a heatsheild like the factory one...My radiator temp idiot light goes off more often due to the traped heat in the engine bay...nothing too much to worry about though. Runs good.
I enjoy the back fire
lots of it.

The BB header is not that much louder if you are running a CAT and stock exhaust. I can barely notice a difference, course most of my loudness comes from my intake. I think it did kind of mellow out the scream of the intake a little. Perhaps I'll be able to tell a difference with aftermarket exhaust.

I just got my boost brothers header completly wrapped in headshield and powder-coated black and really excited to install it! I want a deep loud sound! Not a box of rice-a-roni lol
Where can I get a Billy boat mid-pipe and do u get CEL with it?

Vivid racing has the cheapest prices that I've come across. I looked for a used midpipe and catback and hardly got ahold of them.
they got it for 330 shipped, its realy loud...but you get use to it...I already have.
Recently ive been noticing how much ive gained from it, and its def. pulling alot harderin in low-midrange rpms. Nice tq. gain.
As far as HP, I can tell in top end, but the tq is so much better you can't hardly feel the TQ curve at around 7k anymore, it just flows in now and pulls all the way through.
And realy, wraping isnt realy needed, its only good if you not moving when hot air isnt being pulled away from the engine, the piping cools from the inside out.
And yeah its gonna cause a CEL, I already have one due to my gas cap anyway.
