We are now shipping all of Hotshot's product. Our first intro deal will be for the 2002-2003 Hotshot headers. These will also fit the 2000-2001 but you will have to do some moding to get the O2 sensors to fit properly. I don't suggest you try it unless you pay a professional to do it.

On the 2002-2003 they are completely bolt on except for the O2 sensor bungs you need to have welded into the B-pipe. As far as special tools, the only thing that you would probably need to buy is an O2 sensor socket which is about $10. If you have a good socket set, it should suffice.

Anyhow, enough blabbing, here are the prices:

1-5 sets $569 shipped - shipped as the orders come in.

5+ sets $549 shipped - If you want to gather everyone at once and I ship everything at the same time.

If you are outside the 48 states shipping will be higher. We will be accepting paypal, money orders, and CC's on this one.

Email me if you have questions.

any takers out there?

 

sorry bryan...im needing new wheels first (konig tantrum damadged beyond repair), and i can't use my credit card. =(

 

Man, I'd really like these. Is this the full system? Headers and y-pipe? i.e. everything from the block to the cat?

 

Yes that's hotshot......

 

damn!! i want these soo bad. anyone know how much install would run me for a 2000??

and they do come w/ a y-pipe so that means i could sell my warpspeed one?

 

The header is a complete replacement of the stock exhaust manifolds all the way back to the cat. So yes, as is quite clear from the picture above, it does replace the manifolds and y-pipe.

 

The Hotshot's will not fit the 00-01's without modification. We will be releasing our 00-01 headers this summer. Larrio will be our first test canidate.

Also, we will have a 4th gen header as well. Most likely late model 4th gen's due to the differences that the 4th gens have.

How much shipped to canada, and what about brokerage fees, i hate getting raped.

I may need to repalce my stock manifold as a result of crappy precat rattle.

 

Sent you a PM.

 

Really - that's great. I had started discussions with John @ HS back in '02 bout those but let it slide as that's when Catts announced his product. Any guess as to an approx release date?

 

We have to do some testing first for the 4th Gen header. Our goal is by mid summer.

I havent heard of Hotshot till I bought my new maxima... How good is hotshot?
is it a reputable company?

Thanks,
Mike

 

Hotshot is the best header company available for the SR20DE. You can buy with confidence from them. Their QR25DE and SR20DE headers are excellent-- in fact they are continuing SR20DE header development despite the fact that the SR20DE is no longer sold on new Nissans in the USA.

 

GET THESE HEADERS!!!

 

I am gonna consult the personal accountant (read: the wife). She knows I am gonna get these sooner or later. I will try to sell her on the fact tha I can save $50 if we get them now/soon. Right now I am in between jobs, but we have more than enough money saved up to get these and live well until I get a new one. Put me in for a tenative.

 

that sounds good.

 

No deal for us VQ30DE-K owners ? I'm interested in Cattmans, I had plenty of issues with HS headers on my SR20s in the past- like cracking etc. HS is a pretty decent company. Their newest SR20 header makes about 20WHP more vs stock- on a car U can feel every little HP gain - its a phenomenal gain

 

I'll be test fitting a VQ30 header for the 00-01's later this month. It will have to make significant power in order for it to make it to production though.

Bryan

 

See this is what I am concerned of... I really dont want to put something on my car that might crack... I want something similar to the quality of comptech headers for acura's... And if it does crack are you screwed?

Thanks,
Mike

 

Hotshot carries a lifetime warranty on their headers and the newer intakes.

If it cracks, they will repair or replace the product.

Bryan

 

These are the stainless steel ones you where talking about right. If so I will put up this big fat

 

That is correct!!!

 

I might be down for the $549 price, depending on how the current fitment issues are addressed by HS...

 

I hear you, from what SR20 has said they have some adjustments to make on their JIG.

 

same here, we'll have to see what happens.....

 

gains???????????

 

I beleive you (Bryan) were testing the waters for interest in a set of headers (I think it was for the 3.5s) by your own make correct? If so, whats become of that?

 

We scrapped the idea and decided on developing a 3.0 header instead.

 

I think you should reconsider now because of hs issues. I wanted headers but don't want to deal with any issues and I would gladly pay more for a set of headers that are a complete bolt on without having to do any fabs or moving sensors and crap. I sure others would agree. Just an idea.

 

I was ready to jump on this deal (price is awesome), but then all these issues came out. I realized that headers are quite difficult to install. They are one of the more involved mods. I would rather spend more money on some quality headers, rather than have to deal with all the install isuess and maybe problems down the line.

Bryan,
There are a few orgers that installed catman's headers on their 02-03's. So, it could be possible to develop both sets at the same time without big alterations. Oh, and you should look at the comments provided in a thread by SR20DEN, or even get in touch with him. Here's link to the thread
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=322741

 

I spoke w/ John at Hotshot and like he said their samples don't look any differnent than the 1st batch that were produced. However, I'm going to wait on this whole thing until we see that something is done before I will want to sell them to a customer.

Regards,
Bryan

 

Wait wait. These are carbon steel that is ceramic coated right?
This is the first I have heard about them being stainless.

 

Not the Hotshot headers. They are steel w/ ceramic coating. Our header is full stainless.

any idea what pricing is going to be on your SS headers.

 

In the $400-500 range. Barring any surprises.

 

I am still leaning towards the HS headers despite the fitment issues and the new Cattman Header group deal. The power of hte HS headers is dyno proven for the 3.5L while the cattman headers are not atleast not that I have seen. They claim 18-22whp for the 3.0 and more for the 3.5, but the length of the primaries of a header built for a 3.0L will not be optimum for a 3.5L. Granted they will still put out a good amount of extra power, but I think that the HS headers will have the edge on them. Not only that the HS headers are about $200 cheaper. Well I also have an industrial grinder too...

 

n00b question...
headers remove fed/spec pre-cats on the 5.5...correct? Does this mean I will no longer pass inspection?

 

id like to know too

 

It depends, I've heard cars pass and fail in different states with the same setup. If the car is sufficiently warmed up then it should still be able to pass smog in most states.

However, some people have failed with precats missing, and some have passed.
