Hotshot headers installed on a vq35 4th gen

maxs and i got the hotshot headers installed this week on my maxima. install wasnt horrible as some people say it is. one thing is though the front primary o2 sensors will hit the ac compressor if you have one. my ac compressor was removed to solve this problem and a shorter belt was installed. well let the pics speak for themselves.

hotshot headers

All you need to do is relocated the o2 bung. Any exhaust shop can do it for a reasonable fee.

i am planning on getting the exhaust leak fixed asap. its annoying driving around with it. headers ran me $535 shipped from steve at sco. and to solve the problem with the 02 sensor, the headers come with a couple of extra bungs for the 02 sensors so you could relocate the sensor to another location.

they are loud and you can tell the difference right away when you start the car and when the revs are between 2k-3k.
these are the hotshot headers for the 2002-2003 vq35 maxima.

I'm guessing that's because you have a semi- cat-back..
