I know 2 people who had them locally. Don't drive it in the rain, they suck up water.

You see a lot of STS kits for sale used. Probably a reason for that.

daily driver here, no complaints. system as a whole works great.

as for the rain that is what the shield and / or rain sock on the filter is for.

DD here and go off road No problem, LONG TRIPS, NO PROBLEM . Snorkel kit solves all your issues. AND A lot of problems can be blamed most of the time on A TUNE. Just make sure you monitor your values and Get a good tune youll love the boost every day.

Had mine for 2 years. You could run into some problems if the engine has high milage. Thats what happened to me. Now I have a fully forged 383. If you dont gover 6lbs then I believe you will be ok.

You see a lot of all types of kits for sale used. I think that's just the way it is with FI kits, not just STS.

Bought mine used a year ago and DD for the last 20,000 miles and no major problems. I'm running 7psi daily

i love the **** outta my system, its like you're driving next to someone and you tap the gas and the person hears the whistle and they cant believe it. most people think its a supercharger. i made good #'s in my opinion on 7psi and completely stock motor

My truck has 164k on it running 12lbs of boost. Had the kit on since 117k. Had no problems. If you have a used kit for a SS, You can have the filter and shield updated to the new ones. Give STS a call.

The base STS kit is great for ease of install (no headers to install), keep AC, no relocation of accessories and price. If you want to make more power in the future, it can be upgraded fairly easily. For all out performance and less turbo lag, most would end up switching to front mount.

I ran my DIY remote kit on my 120 mile round trip commute for about a year. The only time I ran into problems was during extreme rain. Water would get into the MAF and cause some minor problems. That could've been fixed with a sock I guess. Other than that, not a single problem.

Yeah, they sell a ton of them, so there's more of a used market.

I was on the phone with them a few days ago and they told me they have sold over a 1000 kits.
