Here's a picture of the Nismo headers for Sentra, should be similar. http://www.performancenissanpa...5.jpg

Nismo is cheaper, Do you have something that has the numbers performance wise for the Nismo. I have heard the Hotshot giving an average of 14hp.

Edit: I might be wrong on that, those numbers might be a max.

I have no numbers, i've found out about the nismo headers only a few days ago (wasn't expecting nismo to be cheaper). Personally I've just started modding my car (cuz i havent had it for too long) and i want as many nismo parts as possible. The hot shot headers look a little more wild but i'm not sure which has a better advantage, i'm sure the Nismo might be a bit more exact when it comes to fitment, but who knows.

I think hotshot would be better because from the picture of the sentra header... it doesnt look like it gets rid of the pre-cat. Hot shot does so it's probably more HP

he drives an S13, there is no pre cat. Hot shot is perfect fitment, they look pretty bling too. i would say go for the hotshot header, unless you have a v6, then go for the nismo headerS.

I have Injen and Hotshot headers. No complaint but the headers i got, the O2 sensor near the cat didn't fit in there (thread was to big) so i cut out the part form the oem part and welf it inplace and problem solve. Oh yeah I also got a N1 exhaust and no cat...damn it is LOUD!No ticket for loudness so far but got two for enlarging the exhaust...stupid Canadian Laws

whatever you do dont buy pacesetters if at all possible. they look like garbage, and leak like hell. i hate mine. and i might be wrong, but i remember reading somewhere that the nismo headers are just hotshot headers sold by nissan. maybe im consfused...

exactly why i said "unless you have a v6, then go for the nismo headerS."

pants are called pants, a header is not called headers. you wouldnt say "im gonna get new engines in my car," it just isnt correct.

I do know header is the proper name for it, personally i just think it sounds weird in a sentence, thought i'm not a native speaker of the english language...
