Cac boots
Im going to replace my cac boots next set of days off, i had the one at the turbo blew off a few times last year towing on vacation so i figure ill just swap them all. My question is regarding brand, i can get the riffraffs that everyone likes for 140 and bd performance for 190, usually 290. Are the bd performance boots any better than the riffraffs? I know there are alot of guys running the riffraffs on here but thats not much difference for the bds if theyre a better product. Thanks in advance!

I prefer Riffraffs clamps over BD's. Also, I prefer the made in the USA products from Riffraff.

Thats important to me too and would automatically rule bd out. I just sent them an email asking country of origin. Ill probably end up with the riffraffs but just wanted to check on the bd ones.

They are solid. Clean the connections with a rag and some acetone then slide the boots on and clamp them down and you won’t blow boots off any more. CCV reroute is also a great option to keep crud out of the system.
