Hotshot Headers
Well the Max is finally in the shop and getting headers fitted 
. Some little info, first the Altima headers will be tried and modifications done to them. According to John the prices for our headers will the the same as for the Altima.
I'm so f**king happy my B-day is on Friday and that's the day I'll be getting the car back.

re: headers
It's not taking long since they already have the Altima headers to start with. As per how they explined they are going to bolt on the Altima headers and modify them to work for out car.
Other mods were intake, which was removed since HS wanted the car as stock as possible. All that's in the car is a K&N panel filter.
Sorry I didn't have a chance to dyno, everything was so quick. I will definetely dyno after I get the headers back.

Too late for baseline dyno car is getting headers put on as we speak. I would take them off for a baseline, but I heard it's a lot of work.
6 speed
I think all tracks are closed for the season, if any one know of a track in Southern Cal open let me know. My best time was 14.7 stock will wheel, jack and 300+ sound system.

We have lots of baseline dynos from others for comparison. If you are making 222hp at the wheels after the headers, obviously we have significant gains.
Items most of us are interested in:
Power? (obviously)
Total cost?
Noise? (do you have the stock muffler on?)
Overall quality?
Install difficulty?
Fitment?
Don't worry about posting this information anytime soon? We are not going to be seating around, waiting for your reply, hitting the refresh button over and over, bogging down the server, in hopes to see good news about a REAL product for our cars.

Thanks for posting Aquineas. How is the noise level?

header update
Well here the good/bad news, the headers/ Y-pipe are totally different than those on Altima. I picked up my car today, but without the headers since they are a rough prototype 
. Once the first set of production header comes in (depends on demand and preorders), my car will be brought in. During the next stay at HS they will aquire a before and after dyno run. So maybe in 2 to 4 weeks our cars will finally get some decent headers.
This info. was passed on from John @ HS
626-303-0076 This is their number in case you have other Q's.

I'm curious if there's an update also. It seems there are a few potentially great modifications being worked on right now or in the near future for our cars. This being one of them. It is hard to be patient, but I am sure when released the wait will be worthwhile.
