Procharger all the way......That filter in the back has got to get wet in the rain...Way to may pipes under the car (intake..Exhaust..oil..plus all the crap gm put under there).
It is a cool idea but I could not see it on a daily driver. Plus it has to look like crap from behind. Just my .02.......

Drama - You shouldn't have to hack up your kit with the long tubes. The reason people were saying that they didn't want to change their exhaust, or put it to waste was because LTs have no place in a turbo setup. They neither help nor hurt performance. LTs are designed to relieve back pressure in a NA or Blower car. Turbos create back pressure. The only problem is you have to make sure everything is nice and tight - no leaks (welding works the best). Just headers have more problems with leaking versus manifolds.

I have a car in the shop right now with a procharger and blow head gaskets from sucking up water through his filter. It can happen to anyone.

I must say that I would consider it a tie between the two if I bought my Camaro brand new. The problem is for me that mine was used and has a crappy aftermarket exhaust on it. To get something that would improve my performance in a cost effective manner, I decided momentarily on the STS.
While still being a new product (nevertheless new design), I find it hard to beat for the money and convenience of an aftermarket performance enhancing device. With my exhaust needing replacement, the STS kit would work for me, especially since I'm not overly concoerned with looks. With the cost and complexity of the other kits out there (turbocharger or supercharger), I would only consider them if I needed much more power with money practically being no object.
The ATI is a great setup, it's just that I prefer the performance of a turbo over a SC.
