I got lucky. They were a returned open-box item on Amazon so I bought them before someone else could.

Yeah... They said it'd be done in four hours. I got the truck back five days later.

I've just read some pretty harsh reviews from some F150 owners about the boost brothers leaking, plus clearance issues with the frame..
Glad to hear you've had no issues with your JBA's.. Did they have the same raised primary flange like the F150's?
The JBA headers are not as pretty, they've got some slag spots, but they do appear to be welded thoroughly both inside and out.. Stage 3 has them for 395 on back order. I ended up ordering them from Amazon for around $430 just to have them now..

Especial86, for the manifold gaskets, the ones that came with the manifold looks pretty good, not sure what brand though. Prior to installing the manifold I had it checked to make sure it was level and no high or low spots. Got both sides but so far have only installed the passenger side, I got them from Autozone, don't remember the brand but they appeared to be decent quality. I have went out and checked the torque a couple times since installation and so far, so good.
