6/18/2006 Newly added Hotshot Headers "Yeah Baby". 11 Hour install by the RedLineMax Team and I at his garage. These are the New Hotshot Headers with the High Flow Cat that were made for the Nissan Altima SE-R. And in case you where going to ask, they were a b!tch to put in but also a direct bolt up with NO modifications to the Max or the Header...(^_^)
