Thread: Hot shot headers?

They are fine. I picked up a DE hotshot header for 30 bucks. It had a crack between two of the primaries so I took it to a welding shop. Cost me 20 bucks to fix and it has been fine for the last seven months.

Get a VE exhaust mani gasket from greg V @ G Spec Performance and use it as a template to port match the ports. A dremel will be fine. Then you can elongate the bolt holes in the flange to bring the header to sit 1/8 to 1/4 inch higher to match the ex. ports on the VE block. Andreas Miko did a write-up about how to do this. It is kicking around somewhere.

This will be fine on the VE engine. not ideal but fine until you inevitably go custom or some other VE spec'd mani.

Next step....custom!

yeah i talked to my guy he said he will make me a 4-1 header for 300 if i supply the flange he makes all the prototypes for cxracing mostly turbo manifolds but he gets down. i just wanna get some specs on runner length and stuff before i do it

If you can get someone to make you a custom 4-1 header for 300 bucks minus the flange, that's a good deal. Do stainless steel though, ofcourse. There is tons of info on this and the old forum about custom VE header specs. This is my next step as well. I want to do a long primary 4-1 sometime over the next few months.

:ttiwop:

I saw that ad. Its a GA16de Header......

for lerk

Is that your pic? Because the ad had another pic? That is a SR20 Header good come up!!!!

i dont remember what pic he had i took that pic but yeah the guy was cool

Man, that's real nice. This is the authentic HOTSHOT header, they don't make these anymore and the company is out of business.

i mean for free you can't beat it looks brand new too like it was bought and never used it has scratches here and there but they appear to be from storage
