Details arent on his page.
But apparently this guy is VERY friendly, will answer your questions fast.
QR25DE hotshot headers are 650$ shipped. SR20 might be around the same
price.
He also sells Hotshot intakes for very cheap, and JWT stuff.
He has a group buy going also on b15sentra.net for QG intakes.
Interesting, plus this dude is in Ontario."
A counter point to this is a local Spec V owner Maruice Hilarious, very down to earth guy, you may want to consider:
"As for Hotshot headers, after my experiences with them in the last year, I can NOT recommend Hotshot.
After 6 months of being jerked around by those twits, I finally called Stillen, got good service, no attitude problems, and well made headers.
They arrived promptly, fit well, and (with a Vibrant Cat installed as well as a 2.5" back pipe and new muffler) gained 11whp on a dyno test.
They work, they are "no-nonsense"
I can also recommend Vibrant Technology if you want to have a legal exhaust system, but not sacrifice performance. Their 2.5" Catalytic converter works very well, I had emissions tests run here in Edmonton, and am well within specs. The back pressure is very low, and the dyno result speaks for itself. The quality of manufacture is high, and the materials are good.
I recently installed the JWT balancer removal kit, and this also fits well, works well, and was not too challenging to install. Gained 6whp, and revs much more freely from lower rpm.
This modification seems to do more at lower rpms than higher, which is nice for a change.
With these modes, and my airbox and a POPcharger, the car is now at 171whp
Sound levels are not high, tractability and response are good.
Now waiting to see if Jim wolf will do his ECU for the QR25BE, and all if so, will be sweet!" |

| Interesting. Up until now, my impression among the SR20DE guys over at b15sentra.net was that the Hotshot Header was almost unanimously favored over the Stillen Header, and offered better performance gains. |

Yeah, funny huh?, Maurice I've met personally and he's a pretty cool guy.
I know he's been modding his car all the time, and he really wanted to get a set of headers prototyped on his car.
Stiilen has atleast gotten alittle better, but I think it's pretty well known that Hotshot and JWT are the front runners in terms of R&Ding speedy go fast parts for Nissans. Stillen just kinda resells and rebadges stuff :) |
