I think its a great idea, ill probly do the twin setup when it comes out, I guess it means no warranty void?

couple problems im seeing, but yet again, im no car expert in the least.
1. Does this system have anything to do with the CAI? 2. Does it replace the pipes all the back to the headers? |

I really like the STS systems. Extremely innovative, and they put out some crazy numbers.
Let us know how it goes if you do it! |

Just build one yourselves... it's not all that complicated. There are benefits to using rear mount systems - mainly the ability to go back to stock rather quickly and keeping the engine bay clear. You do have to solve logistical issues of the oil return (140$ shurflow pumps work great) and the minor fab work to get everything mounted. On a 6psi kit, you wouldn't even need a front mount, although you could if you wanted to.
I don't like STS because they rebadge cheaper gear as being "special" with a hugely inflated price tag. Seriously -- spend 2K and build yourself a far superior setup than having them build one. |

I still say that if it was half as awesome as STS says then at least one manufacturer would use rear mounted turbos. But as far as I know, they all tuck them in really close to the exhaust.

If I was installing a rear mounted turbo I would want to fab up a finned stainless (or aluminum) pipe to bring the compressed air back to the intake and do some charge cooling without adding any extra lag like a separate intercooler would. But the last time I looked at STS's website they seemed to be using a plastic pipe... |

Just noticed! STS has 2010 Camaro kits listed as "coming soon" !
Installing them would probably mean voiding the warranty though, wouldn't it? |
