“In stock!”

Philippe A.

I needed a catalytic converter for my 1987 BMW 325i. Hottexhaust had the Magnaflow brand in stock, and on sale (!) while other distributors said it was a special order that would take 3 to 4 weeks to receive and at much higher cost. The unit shipped quickly and arrived at my independent BMW garage in Montreal a couple of days later. Overall, a good experience with Hottexhaust.

“Horrible”

Try to call them and speak with someone, good luck with that. Sell you product they don't have and never contact you with saying there delayed. Magna flo co also said they have many complaints about hot exhaust. Pay more and order from magna flo

Phoned Magnaflow and they could not help me but Hottexhaust did.
I started with the chat, they suggested I phoned, I talked to John and he solve the fitment problem between the Magnaflow Cat 2.25 pipe and the cat back exhaust 2.50 pipe.
Cant wait to get everything in the garage to see if it all fits as discussed.

Delivery took more than 3 weeks, Daily driver car stuck with a removed exhaust because they told me 4 days delivery at the most.
The adjustment to match the pipes did not work. Had to go to a prop exhaust shop to get it enlarge further.
More down time and added costs.
Finally I have an catalytic converter fault on the inboard computer So I changed both O2 sensors in case I damaged either during the swap. I now have a permanent check engine light. That is not hot exhaust fault but the rest is.
I will only buy from them when doing project cars that are track dedicated even if the advertisement says good for daily driver

Very poor communication from Hottexhaust. Ordered and was never informed product wasn't in stock until I made contact with them. Was told the exhaust was on their next stock order at that time. Once they had the product they generated a tracking/shipping number but didn't actually ship the exhaust for two days. Then it was shipped without signature confirmation (for a more than $1000. Exhaust) so it was dropped on my doorstep without even a bell ring or door knock.
Price was fair but don't think I'll use them for any future orders because of these issues.

Great service so far, very friendly customer service! However the Left side catalytic converter's O2 sensor threaded portion was slightly out of position compared to the stock version that i had to use tin snips to cut back a bit of the exhaust manifold heat shield, bummer! But the Catalytic converter installed fine, and got rid of my P430 code! Thanks Guys!

Box had been opened and taped back together. I emailed Hottexhaust to inform them but the only response I received was that they only send sealed packages and maybe UPS had opened it. There was a plastic bag with a garage door cable laying in the box so I know someone else had the box of exhaust before me. Rather disappointed that I would receive the package already opened.

Quick & Easy but took 7 days after i paid for it to finally ship. Also took my three phone calls, three days in a row to get confirmation it would finally ship. Price was fantastic but the overall slowness and lack of urgency turned me off.

This purchase needs to be returned for full refund.
Catalytic converter shows 2 "pucks" of foam inside unit. When installation attempted, entire unit is filled with foam & could not be installed. Very disappointed & have requested return already.

I found hottexhaust doing a search for a new Magnaflow X -pipe with free flowing cats. The site carried the exact part number I was looking for. Just so happens, they were running a Spring Deal special and I was able to save a considerable amount. The purchase was made and delivery was as promised in terrific shape. Very easy buying experience and fast shipping with excellent email notifications as to my orders progress. I'm a happy camper and will be telling all my friends about hottexhaust.

"Be nice to have had a discount code for the immediate "cash" payment." was my comment after I hurriedly placed the order.

After I placed the order I discovered a discount was available! It took several days and the assistance of "John" at Hottexhaust to apply the discount. The lesson is to slow down and make real sure to understand the ordering process.
I had replaced the catalytic converter several years ago with a decent one from another company. The car (2004 Scion xB) continued to run, now past 415,000 miles! This time I bought an OEM compatible unit containing extra precious metal catalyst. If you are going to the time and expense of replacing the catalytic converter, I suggest you pay extra for a premium one as your car may last longer than you imagine.

You made it so easy and more affordable, I just sent back a competitor's product and bought this instead! Not that it's delivered...Unfortunately, Magnaflow mistakenly has this listed for my 03/99 California spec Maxima and it doesn't have 4 O2 ports. Only 2. Now it has to be returned and the search continues. Thank you Hot Exhaust. Not your fault. Magnaflow has been alerted!

Please send ASAP as the car is down and owner has no other transportation! Thank you for your assistance. We received the cat quickly and the fit was near perfect. The only issue was the box the cat arrived in was literally thrashed apart. It was partially taped together and we nearly refused the order. After thorough inspection it was determined that there was no damage and everything was still there ( gaskets etc). Said cat was installed and codes cleared. Working on readying one last monitor for smog here in Nevada. Other than packaging being thrashed we are very happy as well as customer. We also realize the cat was not shipped that way so therefore the damage was done after it left your facility. Thank you and we will order in the future! Andrew Q Chew, Owner

Fast shipping and good product but I've sent the pictures in for my recycling of the old converter and haven't gotten a response?

I had some issues ordering a CBFA Catalytic converter for my VW GTI. After trying a ton of other places, I finally landed at Hottexhaust. I had my cat within 4 business days.

Quick response of my questions from sales rep. Received my order in less than a week without any hassles. It was the part that i ordered complete with all the necessary clamps. It was my first time ordering from hottexhaust so i was a little worried about getting a different part from what i ordered, but i am very satisfied with my experience. Great service, great prices, and quick delivery.

I received my ready to ship email days ago but haven't received notification that it has shipped yet. The order process had a hiccup but I preservered because the price was so good and free shipping on top of it.

I like your website, it is easy to shop here. I found a product that I have been wanting and the price is great. Also free shipping! Thank you for your assistance.
I received my order today. It came from the factory, complete, in good shape and on time.
It's snowing here in Colorado today and I don't have a garage. Now all that I need is some warmer and dryer weather.
I'm a very satisfied customer. I recommend HOTT exhaust to anyone. Thank you John for your assistance.

Great trans. Loved your coupon. All went well until fedex couldn't get there delivery date right, Sunday got text for a monday delivery, reschedule for tuesday then for wednesday then for thursday, I ended up picking up at the fedex myself. Frankly if this is how fedex operates maybe you'll should look for other delivery company options.
Other then with the delivery issue was quite pleased with purchase

No order confirmation or any shipping details. Emailed them to confirm they ever got the order and I got no response. Customer service needs improvement. Got this survey before receiving parts. This is the only contact I've received.

I checked the status of my order and it said it was delivered. I thought oh really and checked my front door. Sure enough it was there. Had the converter installed in the afternoon and had my e-test done an hour or so later. Passed with flying colours and car seems to run better. Much more peppy. Thank you.

The price is right. And I had a quick response from the online chat. Shipping took forever but that wasn't hottexhaust fault. My exhaust system ws on back order. I am quite satisfied with the overall experience. Everytime i called or emailed to check on the back order status they checked on it right away.

A day later, I had an email with shipping info and tracking number, and received it within two days! Excellent service! Will deal with again for sure!

Great product, great price...I was hesitant, and didn't initially go through with it. I received an email following up from hottexhaust with a code, and it pushed me to go for it!

VEry happy, and will recommend this site to my friends in a heart beat!
