my pacesetter was better, but didnt actually fit the car, the o2 flange was wrong, and i had to drill out the head flange holes bigger.

my 00 camry header has (again lol) the wrong o2 sensor flange, and its not going to give any gains without severely modifying it.

a little cut and weld would have fixed that fine hotshot header.. when you take into consideration your other options, thats really not too bad.

Yea but from Hot Shot or any other brand ... it should be flawless
so the owners would not have to stress.
Oh well.
I'm back OEM now.

hotshot got bought out, it didn't go 'under' and the guy retired.

hot shot got bought out maybe..but they can still be found online and should be a good buy right? and those ssac headers must be total crap from what the earlier post said..guess you get what you pay for, they are only like 80 bucks

I got the Hot Shot headers like 3 years ago.... i gained a lil horsepower but not worth the 300 i spent on them. I had the same exhaust leak as the picture above. i just took it to a welding shop to get new piping done on it(no Hot Shot down pipe) To tell you guys the truth i got more power from a $7 dollar bottle of seafoam. If i knew then what i do now.... shoot....... i would have blown $300 on some other stupid stuff. Oh well live n learn
