Anyone figue out if the will fit the 3.0 liters? Where are the placement of the O2 sensors on the 3.5's?

 

stillen headers LOOK better.... hopefuly hotshot will perform better tho

 

HotShots long primaries > Stillens short primaries.

 

We all know Stillen's headers were not correctly designed (and they look like they were welded by a 5 year old who was blind folded).

And skandalouz, the picture of Stillen's headers look good, but you should see the actual product

 

lol...
10chars

 

I'm buying these on Monday if there are any left! If not, I'll wait for the dyno's like the rest of ya all!

 

I'll wait for the dyno's. I'm sure they'll give us some good numbers, but I'd rather wait and know that what I'm buying.

 

Wow, that Hotshot Header is frickin' gorgeous. User-installable?
If dyno shows >= 10-15 hp gain it's a no-brainer...

New master plan: Intake, ECU, Hotshot Header, Catback

 

One left at this price!!!!

Alex

 

Not anymore!

 

Thanks guys. ( a side note....HotShot better get off their asses and get to making some more).....Thank you everyone, we shall see what happens this week for the locals on the dynos. Whoever dynos first post!


Alex

 

any dyno results with these headers yet?

 

All of the pre-order shipped out, so hopefully we'll be getting numbers soon.

 

scheduled delivery Feb 3rd

 

When do plan on getting them installed?

 

Delivery date Feb 2.

 

HS

time fore some dyno and reviews...

 

im looking forward to it. how many people are putting them on theirselves?

 

Man, i hope $tillen gets

 

I need see dynos!!! If it good, I will buy real quick.

 

It'll be interesting to see if these headers gain over the conventional y-pipe. I think the problem with most of the past headers was that the primaries were too short. The headers were all shortie headers, which on almost any engine don't gain nearly as much as long tube headers. The VQ is no different from any other engine in that with a properly tuned header it will make big hp and trq gains over a stock cast exhaust manifold.
Here is an example of what the headers look like on an NSX.



Even most headers for 4-cyl engines have very long primaries.

Then we have these new headers for the altima/maxima

They look like the primaries are longer than the hotshot headers for the Tiburon.

It's easy to see why they go with a shorter primary tube length since the space to work with is small, but it could still be done as the NSX headers proved. I hope these headers have long enough primaries to make better hp, but if not it will be because the primaries are probably too short

 

FAST LS1, you are 100% right on.

 

recieved mine today

 

Mine is scheduled to go on Wednesday. Little concerned about the other guy missing his o2 bungs. Have they all been shipped like that or only his?

 

cant wait to hear what you guys have to say bout them... i'm hopin for great gains, like everyone else. Thanks for bein guinea pigs

 

Mine has both 02 bungs on each set of headers. It also came with new gaskets although they are paper and nuts and bolts. Also Im assuming its wire for the 02 relocation if needed.

 

Sounds good. Can you take pics?

 

Just curious but wouldn't the ideal set up for you be to go ahead and run the N20 with your headers?

Obviously it would make for a better gain, or is it that you just want to go back to being all motor? Btw, I thought you had a great set up going without being boosted.

 

I have pics but cardomain isn't uploading pics correctly for me.

 

 

all motor is just more of a challenge and more fun

 

Hey Matt how've you been?

Glad to see you got a set

1 question though. What do you (guys) think of the banks being different lenghts?

 

Been doing ok lately just really busy. I guess the dyno will tell all, I can't wait to get them on

 

This is only because, the rear bank header merges to the y-pipe portion directly above where the y-pipe portion from the front bank is..........I got mine today too.

 

Blu - when are you doing the install?

 

I hate you Matt.....your car is going to just get that much faster than me, you bastard.....lol. Congrats on the purchase. Hurry up and run your car at the track with them on, but remember no NOS this time.

 

It will probably be a week or so

 

next track day is March 7th @ MIR

 

Cool...... I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but you should have received two bungs for two of the four o2 sensors to be relocated. Apparently, these bungs need to be welded anywhere after the cat towards the rear of the car (which we are supposed to do). One is supposed to have been included with the pipes. Like I said, two are needed and I didn't recieve any. I contacted Hotshot, and they should be sending them out to me. This information came directly from Hotshot.

 

Yes, HotShot is sending out the missing bungs to everybody that ordered a header.
