Sts has redone their ls1 kits. They are the rear mount kits. I have aps kit. Overall pretty happy with it ,some issues with it most are minor.Sway bar needs some tweaking, their original inlet tubes suck shut at higher boost.Remember the aps is a twin kit the ttis is single. Prefer a twin to a single setup personally. But single is cheaper and simpler normally. Also you have to look at completeness of the kit. Aps comes with massive intercooler, two tial 38mm external gates, two blow offs, every nut and bolt. Stainless tig welded downpipes,inlet pipes and intercooler pipes.Well except for the short sections of silicone inlet pipes. Stock type manifolds for easy plug access and some log types have cracked on other kits. Even beautiful billet coolant return tank and windshield washer tank.Good install manual as well.

yea but they don't give you tubular k member that is necessary for the install. and most find out they need one after they buy the kit. it's a great kit, but you have to spend a little more money.

Sounds like good news to me, about the tubular k-member, unless i need a specific tubular k-member to make the kit work. I bought one when i first purchased the car, 6 yrs ago. We'll see how it works out. Also, thank yall, all of yall, for yall's input. I'm definitely going with Josh's kit. Gonna see what a stock LS-6 motor can do first hand. By the way, HAPPY NEW YEAR fellas!!!!
