Belanger Long Tube Headers?

Hello All I am new to this website, anyhow I have a Lightning and was considering doing some headers and was wondering if anybody is running or has heard of Belanger Long tube headers. I ran across them on a website and was curious. They look like they are made well, but was just wondering if anybody has them on there own lightning, and how they think they perform.

Thanks for the help.

Here is the link of the page I saw them on.

They fit the srt-10 Very nicely. It's what they are all using. However They are Extremely Pricey.

They sure do look sharp! But like l-menace said you better be prepared to dig deep in your wallet, they are a little pricey. But like the ol' saying goes,"you get what you pay for". So in this case they must be top of the line headers. I would like to know to if anyone has these, and if they like them. I'm wanting to get a set of headers sometime in the future.

These headers are beautiful. I would love to see them on my truck, then on the dyno.

What what I have read, it looks as though they are Jet-Hot coated inside and out, to keep the underhood temperature down.

I think I am going to go with these. They seem to be the nicest headers out there right now for our trucks.

Any other feedback would be appreciated.

Would they work on non-lightning 5.4s?

Do they say what kind of metel they are made out of. I just bought a set of dynatech's with midpipes for $1050. They are t-304 which is about as good as it gets. The Kooks are also made of t-304. I wanted to buy the LFP headers but they were out of stock. I don't know what type of steel they are made of, but they are also coated inside and out, but only cost $700 something.

I just got off the phone and they told me that they are made from aluminized steel and are Jet-hot coated inside and out. From what they said, the aluminized tubing runs cooler than stainless and retards rust and corrosion.

They also told me that they will fit the standard 5.4L F-150, but were made for a Lightning.

I have them on m L. They are jet coated!! They also contain exhaust pickles inside headers that create a vortex / suction effect. The midrange power gain and responsiveness is HUGE compared to stock. I am having a retune done when it gets cooler here!! I pegged my MAF when I had these installed. It took 5 hours total and SVC did it here in Scottsdale. They are also a Belanger distributor,call and talk to Dean. 480-998-8885

Thanks for the feedback.

I spoke to David @ Premier truck and he told me that there a "Authorized" Belanger dealer and that they are only 2 doors down from them.

He also told me that they have sold a few set's of these and have had some good customer feedback.

For that much money you could get a full exhaust.

The 5.4L F150 and the Lightning use the SAME EXHAUST MANIFOLD.

(think of all that extra air being pushed into the engine via the supercharger, going through the same manifold and cats as the regular 5.4L)
