Well, thanks to 2000TurboVert, I might be getting an STS turbo system...what do all of you think of them?


Will it work with my Hooker catback? If I read right, it replaces the muffler, so will my aftermarket catback cause any problems?


Thanks!

yeah you will have to get rid of your hooker cat back

jeremy02

The whole thing, or just the muffler?


I swear I've seen cars with STS running aftermarket exhaust.

I had a Hooker catback. Just removed the muffler and did some welding. The remainder of the HCB (the pipe) is still on the car.

You could probably still retain the tailpipe sections - but custom fab will be necessary as the turbo is located diferently.

Exact reason why I will never have an STS - not getting rid of my excellent sounding GMMG catback for a rear mount hairdryer - now front mount style is another thing...

I put a Borla XR-1 on mine. I like the way it sounds now. JMO.

How do you have yours mounted? I have the XR-1 too, but I just mounted it after the turbo. I hate the way it looks right now. Looks like a big ricer fart can, even though it sounds pretty good.

Um....My car sounds AWESOME!!!(not just my opinion) and my hair dryer gives me 100 RWHP easy ...what does your catback give you? 10?


You will like it....PM me for some exhaust ideas, you can't tell I even have one until I pass you and you hear the spool

Glad I could help you out!!

As far as the Hair Dryer comment... You make me laugh!! haha..

Thats a pretty powerful hairdryer... like 120-130rwhp hairdryer......

I put it just after the curve back, removing the rear-most section of the STS pipe. I tucked it under the fenderwell as best as I could, then put a turndown pipe after that. You can see a part of the muffler if you get down and look under the car. Otherwise it looks and sounds like a catback exhaust with a single tailpipe.
If you want pics, PM me your email address and I will send you some (after I take them, of course).

Should I have any problems with an STS turbo on my stock engine?

2000TurboVert

You should not!! There are several people that have been running the kit you are going to get for 2+ years.......

You will be fine!!!!!

I would not go over 10 lbs of boost, or 500 HP, My car has stock bottom end and 90,000 abused miles....still runs like a champ at 8 lbs. I am TRYING to kill it to justify a new motor....LMAO....it won't die

My engine is completely stock with the exception of the 52mm tb (I have an LT1). You do need to do a few upgrades, such as a fuel pump, wires, plugs, and gauges. It is difficult to find any other bolt-on that gives you instant 125+ hp and retains 100% stock driveability, with no bottles to fill. BTW, I have had mine for around 3 years, and I love it.
