A buddy of mine had one on his 99 SS.It was featured on hot rod TV about 7 years ago.They did the install on TV and it didn't cost him a dime.Very lucky guy.One day he was driving the car in a bad rain storm and he road over a deep puddle.He ended up hydro-locking his motor.Very unlucky guy.I never liked how the intake was low and in back.You got to be really careful about getting water in the intake.

it would have had to have been one hell of a puddle. the STS kits for 4th gen camaros came with splash shields and the intake sat over 1ft off the ground tucked up behind the bumper.

Have one on my 2001 Silverado. The "mad lag" is gone by 1,700 RPM, when the system starts building boost. So, whatcha talking about?

Contrary to popular belief, this is not true. This system has no intercooler, because it doesn't need one (the exposed, elongated intake pipes actually act like an intercooler), soo...the total volume of the intake pipes is equal to that of a traditional system with a necessary intercooler: minimal lag. As for exhaust pressure...pressure is pressure in a closed system, no matter where it's coming from...

...AND... if you add an Intercooler, you can safely run about 3 PSI more boost without pinging because it will drop the IATs down from around 195 degrees to near ambient air temp. I did this on my 2001 Silverado with the STS Remote Mount.

Also, I added a Water/Methanol Injection Kit to the STS system and can add another 3 PSI of boost safely, when I arm the injection system.
  • Stock STS Kit: 5 PSI boost
  • Air-to-Air Intercooler added to STS Kit: 8 PSI boost
  • Water/Meth Injection on STS Kit: 11 PSI boost
