Needed a vacation? Is he taking a break or is Hotshots a thing of the past?

 

It's a permanent vacation.

I don't know what the future holds, but if he decides to come back to the auto industry, I doubt it will be with bolt-on headers apps that overseas companies just copy and steal. It will probably be a more smaller venture with the sentra and se-r racing events, like the good ol' days.

 

Retail Price: $686.00

Clearance Price: $300.00

US ground shipping is free!


HOLY CRAP

$235 without cat !! I just blew a load

 

They're not ceramic coated...but it's still a hell of a deal.

 

i think the $235 without cat is ceramic coated

 

Holy hell, I need to get a set of these ASAP.


$300 - NOT CERAMIC COATED.

 

Keep in mind they have unfilled outstanding orders still with paid members. I would be very weary sending a check or m/o with their current state. This is still after they nixed their vendors' orders like Flyryde and RR-racing.

 

Good point.........I'll hold off then.

 

I intentionally left their "closing inventory" prices/items out of my original post because I do not want to see more members getting ripped off.

 

Just reiterating what C-man said. I ordered on Nov 30th and have received nothing.

 

Indeed... I wouldn't want to be the first one to try the "clearance" price sale.

 

It's a shame they are closing. I had good dealings with them, even when I had to return my Y pipe, there where no problems at all.

 

That really sucks ***, guess I'll plan on getting the Dc's instead.

 

i would be interested in trying out the RIPP headers.

 

Thought about headers for a long time and they were at the top of my list. Everyone on here loves them for their quality, BUT the reason I haven't bought them is they cost too damn much. You can still buy a set of Hedmans Headers or even maybe Hooker Headers from any speed shop for a 70 Chevelle for like 200 bucks or under. This price of almost 700 bucks for this product is just outrageous and that applies to DC and the others too. Don't like getting ripped off, so I guess I will stay stock.

 

this deal has been going on for almost a week... i have talked to John many times and he told me he still has A TON left in stock and really wants to push them out the door. The price for the headers with a cat was $265.00 but he bumped it up... We all missed that price :3_frusty:


Anybody have the number to make sure there is still a standing inventory?

 

Wow. So this means that the hyundai community will be losing another vendor. Looks like the aftermarket scene is just becoming smaller.

 

Where one falls another will rise. Plus they only made headers for are cars.... the DC sports are pretty much the same if not better.

 

What do you mean they only made headers for our cars. The made headers for other cars. Not to turn this into a pissing match but the hotshots are better than the dc sports headers.

 

I think he meant, headers are the only aftermarket item they make for us. Like they don't make cams, or intakes, or clutches, etc.

 

That's too bad, they make great headers.

 

If i had the cash I'd risk trying to get a set. the KRDs are nice but hotshots are nicer.

 

Delemma ........... Hotshots
or
Zefireo hood?

Can't have both ............. leaning towards HS.

 

Haha, yeah, that tax return is burning a hole in my pocket, it's just a question of if I'm feeling brave enough.

I sent them a few emails over the past 2 days and have gotten responses in quickly each time, for what it's worth.

 

I've been emailing john back and forth for a week now daily... the headers aren't ceramic coated but if you email him and ask he can point you to a company that will do it for you, just costs a little extra... I took the risk and ordered mine a few days ago and then posted in the forum I had ordered mine... as soon as I get my tracking number I will let you all know... they should be shipped Monday or Tuesday provided he has received my check...

You all can use me as the Guinea Pig for this subject...

 

Hotshot used Jet-Hot for the coating, as they are local and one of the only quality thermal coaters.

If John still had inventory, maybe he should send them out to those that have already paid him and have been waiting for the product.
