If a lot of us email and call Hotshot, then I think they will more likely get off the dime then if only I do it. Encourage them to get a hold of me to arrange a test fit.

Just a heads up. There is an unresolved CEL issue with 05+ Altima 3.5 HS headers due to design and front WB O2 sensors. Most agree that the reason is lack of proper R&D. HS has not been very helpful with this issue, we are basically on our own. HS headers HP gains were very hard to ignore though. And since they are the only show in town, I got them anyway, knowing the possibilty of CEL issue. Hope you guys have better luck than we did with HS.

I called hot shot before, they told me the altima headers won't fit, but I was going to take them to a pipe shop and mod whatever needed to be modded and get them to fit. to bad for the CEL prob, we prob need to relocate the o2 sensors else where..

well this is their web page....... http://www.hotshot.com/product_hotshotheader.htm and this is the set you would get if you were to order any....... http://www.hotshot.com/hotshotheaders/ns3018.html I have an idea email them instead of calling and put our forum link up to show that we are interested...... I was going to purchase the obx and have it modified but have other mods that are taking presidence and don't want to waste money if they aren't going to fit and just too much hassle at the moment......

It looks like the HotShot headers have a cat and the end of the y-pipe. If that's what it is, I would really like this so we don't have the strong smell of the exhaust as I have had running header/test pipe/exhaust combos on my previous 2 cars. Also, the OBX is obviously poorly made with fragments of bent pipe welded in all sorts of places. I wish you guys the best in your efforts. I am really excited about this as most others are as well.

You have to reach up and feel for the bolts...

my friend just had his hotshot headers installed on his 05 altima se-r. The job was insane from what i understand. they had to unbolt the frame or some ish. I'm going to drive it tomorow to feel the difference that it made, but the sound is ridiculous. From what he says they made a hell of a difference.
