Hotshot Performance out of business?

Anyone know if these guys are still in business? I've sent them countless e-mails in the last month trying to buy headers from them and they don't respond. Sucks being in Canada because the webstore doesn't seem to ship to Canada. Anyone know if these are available elsewhere? Ditto for SCO not responding to my emails BTY...

I've heard they went under, but their website is still online and states they will only sell online now, not through any other means. Probably doesnt help you out, but that's what I know.

You can PM me anytime if you have questions.. Hotshot may have gone out of business, I'm not enturely sure. We stopped doing business with them about 4-5 months ago and since then they've only sold to the public. Seems like they've been on a downhill slide for a couple years though and it is a shame..

Hotshot went bankrupt because of ****hole companies like OBX stealing their designs and undercutting their prices.

which is why I hate ebay knockoffs more and more every day. Ebay is ruining thousands of companies like Hotshot.

Well, I was just responding to everyone saying they're out of business. I guess you could have it shipped to a shop in the US then come pick it up.

Has anyone been able to confirm this yet for sure? I've called both their numbers that I found on Google & I just get a recording directing me to their website. I also emailed them, but haven't gotten a response.

good luck. my bud bought a set of headers for his car, they charged his CC and over a month later nothing. Called his CC company, he got the refund. They have to #, or the one they have says dont leave a message we wont respond, and he must have sent about 10 emails. Sucks to see them gone, they were a pioneer for the SR20 community, and stepped up with the maxima headers as well. **** companies like OBX and ss autochrime.

I got scammed.
I sent him money months ago when this whole "clearing out inventory" deal went on.
Definitely didn't receive any e-mails from him, nor did he respond to my phone calls.
Really pisses me off.
