Well ding-dangy, I paid $6 more for the same thing -- maybe RiffRaff will shoot me a "good customer" discount since I keep pointing people at them -- they are good folks at RiffRaff and shipping is usually cheaper than White Bear (Lord knows I gave those guys some coin...).

To answer your original question .......yes, it looks like the two hot side boots ARE $100.00 at auto nation I have no idea what they would be at RiffRaff so we are back to square one, This whole thing was NOT a post to knock either RiffRaff OR Auto Nation...as a matter of fact I'm not even sure how it morphed into this

Ultimately what matters is that you get what you want. If you're happy with the blue and black stock boots, who cares. Run them until something happens and then replace them with either another set of stock boots or then buy the Riff Raff ones.

My stock ones were really fine at 80k miles, I only upgraded the hot side boots because I got a good friend deal on the cold side metal pipe on FTE and bought four new boots to match up the whole system. So if you're fine with the price, run them for a few years until there's a problem to solve IMO. Stressing over $50 if you're happy now is small peanuts on the $13,000 time bomb we call the 6.0

I don't think anyone is knocking anyone, it is good info. I shop mainly at Riffraff because they are a small family business and all they do are Powerstrokes. Not many places can you call up and get exact diagnosis information on your project then be talked out of parts you think you want but you really don't need. I will gladly pay a couple extra bucks for their customer service and years of experience.

Here are the hot side boots you want.

I just paid about $68 each for the hot side boots and $14-$18 each for the clamps at the local ford dealer.
