What are the plusses and/or minuses of either ? I know that owners have either one or the other, probably not both. What do you like about your set? How's the noise level? Any comparisons on a dyno? Ease of installation? Gains? I would go for the hotshots because of price, right now. Is that a mistake? Help me out guys. Thanx.

 

I would go with Hot Shot because I'm biased. On a serious note though we can't quite compare these to just yet because both products are still fairly new, I don't know of anyone that has had the Cattman on there Vq35 yet. We also have to wait on more and more DYNO's to come in for the HS Headers(I figure we will be putting up similar numbers like the Altima V6). As far installation goes, if your not mechanically inclined don't even bother on doing the install yourself. So far I love my headers, definitly worth the money I spent. Noise is all depending on the type of exhaust setup your running. My exhaust setup is only the HS Headers, the rest is stock, so the noise level is not bad at all. Good luck with your decision.

HS, hands down.
