Default Belanger Headers?

Any of you guys have any feedback on these headers? They are Belanger Ceramic Coated Headers, I bought the car with them on. I know these are popular in the Viper community. Anyone have info on these?

I had them on my car when I bought mine a couple of years ago. I ended up taking them off since I got a steal on a set of LG Streets with x-pipe. They are a tri-Y design which I've heard makes great low end torque. They are a nice set of headers to say the least.

I have them on my car. They did make good low end power with my mods and have a nice tight exotic sound compared to the longtubes I ran on my other C5.

I have 228 cam, Belangers, Catless X, underdrive and stock Ti's.

Very cool thanks for sharing, I have a very small cam in the car that I will be replacing, other supporting mods include a vararam corsa x pipe with american racing high flow cats to stock ti modified with bypass tube hoping for 430-440rwhp range

FWIW, I don't see the sense in switching from one brand of LTs to another. The gains, if any, wouldn't be worth the trouble and expense, in my opinion, unless maybe you're stepping up from 1 3/4" primaries to 1 7/8".

Happy modding.

Good, yeah I remember you too. I just recently got new wheels and tires (TSW Interlagos and Michelin Pilot Super Sports), and I lowered it on stock bolts. It feels great to have fresh, soft rubber underneath me again.

Do you know what direction you're going with the new cam? Sounds like you want to go pretty big.

PICS??? sounds awesome, yea i've done a few things to mine as far as appearance. I am not gonna go too crazy as I will be driving this to and from work during spring summer and fall so want to retain stock drivability and gas mileage i get in it now but the added power to be there when i need it.

I haven't had the chance yet for a proper photoshoot, and in the meantime I don't want to mess with crappy cellphone pics. It sounds like you probably want a cam similar to Mawnee; 228 seems like the go-to size for guys that want a good balance of power and drivability. And I bet his car would read higher on most other dynos than the 416/388 his sheet shows.

Looks like that's the direction in going with, LG LT superpro headers 1 7/8" ended up putting a large cam in the car the speed inc si5v2. Going to be putting these up for sale along with my Corsa x pipe with American racing high flow cats welded to the x pipe.

I had a set of Belangers on my Viper SRT10 bought them new, ceramic coating started flaking off within 6 months Lou would not warranty them a$$hole sent then to Jethot to be recoated and didn't have a problem after that. I would never buy another set from them they do not stand behind their product.
