This looks like a steal of a deal. How much power gains do you see. I couldnt read the dyno test they had posted. If anyone has any information on the gains that would be great. Also are these direct bolt ons with no additional part buying?

Thanks guys.

already got hotshot headers all i need is another hot shot y pipe/downpipe..........anyone???

Tippy Toes 03-04-2007 04:51 PM

We'll I just checked all the posts out...it was mostly an auto with an intake with minimal gain 9+whp?

Is a manual more like 16 whp?

I am just looking for real numbers someone to go like this


example:


Hotshots header dyno 2003 maxima - 16 whp gain
- 10 torque gain

Or to post their gains of their dyno on this post. I think it may of took you more time sooners to look up those posts then to actually say or give realistic numbers.

Besides most of the posts went on about SAF-II and other equivilent things

:worthless

Thanks for anyone else's input.

What do you mean by "another" hot shots header?

Meaning you went through the one you pruchased or meaning that you need to buy additional hot shots part for the headers to have their full potential in gain.

Yes... VERY good people.

Bezzle01 03-04-2007 08:33 PM

One thing that strikes me a little strange is on the installation instructions....

"4) Remove power steering bracket for removal of manifold, and don�t re-install it or it will rattle on the headers. "


Is it ok to just leave a power steering bracket off?

Nope, but im very curious to know! But this whole thing looks/feels Sketchy to me, No Contact number, send only Check or Money order! I couldn't find them in the Yellow Pages! I called couple companies that might have dealed with them, but no luck! I dont plan on doing business, if im not getting anything in return! I guess we will have to wait and find out first to see if any org members get theres in... GOODLUCK!

If you guys can't get it directly from them, buy my used set! At least you'll have peace of mind.

the company is going out of business so they stopped paying the money to have a phone and the capability to process credit cards. nothing sketchy about that.
they have been a reputable company for a long time and that hasnt changed. they are simply going out of business.

Guys, how long have you been in the Nissan community? You have no idea who John Spangler is? He is a stand up individual who did nothing but pioneer aftermarket products for Nissans. Hot Shot was the front runner for several aftermarket perfromance parts before other companies either stole the designs or used the designs as the a starting point for their products.

He has worked with Mike Kojima for several years in the development and testing of products for us so that we could get the most out of our cars.

He is retiring. He's clearing out his inventory. That's it.

So, if you want a hell of a deal on a header, buy buy buy. If I didnt have to sink $400 into my susepnsion right now, I'd be all over these headers.

03MAXTNR 03-05-2007 05:55 AM

Im sure hes done alot for the nissan community. We just want to make sure that if we send money that we will get our product

if he gets your check and the headers are sold out...he will sent your check back

machinehead131 03-05-2007 06:09 AM

Just talk to him - he promised me a set because i talked to him via email.

03MAXTNR 03-05-2007 06:26 AM

does he respond fairly quickly.

SoonerFan 03-05-2007 06:31 AM

i dont understand :gotme:
the majority of the posts are people asking about the company...all question that could just be answered by e-mailing the guy that has the answers...the owner.
"does he have any left?"
"how many are left?"
"how quickly does he reply?"
dont ask us questions...just email him and find out for yourself.

blackmaxx96 03-05-2007 06:44 AM

Just e-mail them guys!
He just pulled a set for me, and i'm overnighting my money order.

maj02 03-05-2007 07:48 AM

blackmaxx96 03-05-2007 08:14 AM

If you're asking those kinds of questions, you better budget on paying to get it installed, too.

what is his email? I can't seem to find it. thank you.

edit, I got it. I hope he has some left...:)

NYC32798 03-05-2007 09:14 AM

I e-mailed them earlier last week and never got a response and I e-mailed them again earlier this morning and still haven't heard anything. I hope they aren't sold out already.

LA02MAX 03-05-2007 09:39 AM

I just e-mailed them as well...let's hope there are like 50 in a set :D

I was gonna go for cattmans but right now less than 1/3 of the price is just too appealing :(

They are probably sifting through a ton of org. email....including mine. :)

OOmaxSE 03-05-2007 10:09 AM

For those that want this to fit on their 00 cali, you must ask Hotshot for the EGR bung (it's a specific size but they know) and the o2 sensor bung. They sent these with my headers for free. Maybe send them a note, since they are hard to reach. This will make the modification A LOT easier!!!

Snolife 03-05-2007 10:39 AM

Yeah, I was emailing him last week and getting responses, now nothing. Hmmm.

E55AMG2 03-05-2007 10:55 AM

He's retiring. Selling off his stock and getting out of the biz.

blackmaxx96 03-05-2007 11:05 AM

No lists, nothing like that.
Just e-mail him through his website if you're interested in purchasing your own set.
He doesn't need to come on here and make a post or anything like that.... THere is enough demand for him to sell them off just fine.
First come first serve...
It's as simple as going to hotshot.com and e-mailing him, asking if he has any more sets left, then say I want one, then send him payment.

I am not discrediting anyone but all this talk and no reply from the orginal guy who posted?

I would only buy if he can back and said how many he *definitly* had left in stock. All this talk and we dont know how many is in a set. Last I checked a set in anything is 3 at most 4 or 5.

I would like to make a list and be the first on it from this post on, Monday 4 2007

1. Tippy Toes aka Sterling N.

The owner of the hotshot is not the original poster.
Quit being lazy and weary... just e-mail hotshot if you're interested dude.

Puppetmaster 03-05-2007 11:09 AM

I don't see the point of this thread anymore. Fishpony did us a favor by giving us the heads up, and we appreciate it, so that's that. No need for any more "I emailed Hotshot but haven't heard back, what about you guys...". You guys can PM each other if necessary or start a vendor feedback thread if you have an opinion on your dealings with them. Let me know if you have any questions.

E55AMG2 03-05-2007 11:14 AM

Let's keep this open. But no more posts asking if/what/how. Also, no posts saying that you sent mail. Just let us know when you get them.

Tippy Toes 03-05-2007 11:20 AM

I cant read. But I promise, E55AMG2, that I wont post anymore until I get my headers.
