Hotshot headers on 2k-2k1???

Has anybody put Hotshot headers on the 2k-2k1 maxima? I heard it fits but it just needs alittle modifying, but what needs to be modified? I know the Cattman headers fit on all maxima from 95-03. So why not the the HS headers

Any clue to this guyz???

sr20den installed them on a 3.0 from the org (forgot his name). They fit, however there is one point physically that rubs with something in the engine bay. And I believe the 02 sensor locations are little off for the 3.0

ah, finally found the thread... you can thank me later

we were able to "modify" an o2 bung so the o2 sensor would not contact an a/c compressor line. everything else seems just dandy but ive heard the newer batches of headers have had more fitment issues than the first ones that i received.

sr20den has a 3.5 litre 5.5 gen and fitted cattman headers made for 3.0litres
so i tink most of the headers made for 3.0 or 3.5 are almost the same just gotta do some extra work to make it fit

no major issues at all. only thing annoying is that the flange up the cat is rather thin. there seems to be a slight leak no matter how many or how few gaskets i attempt to use.

That's great, try to use some gasket sealant from home depot to stop that leak. I think I'am just going get the Cattman headers.
