STS with x-pipe???? Will an sts turbo system work with an x pipe or true dual set-up, I'm assuming no or you would have to have 2 systems. I'm just kinda planning for the future....help appreciated.

Unless you went with a twinsetup no, it just bolts up in place of your muffler,so even fitting two turbos back there would be a tight fit, you could do some metal work, and delete rear seats, make a boxed area for each side, and mount the turbos up there, but alot of hassle, just stick with the kit the way they make it.

Yea this would be camaro, so going with an slp off-road y pipe would probably be best? That's what I'm trying to get to. Soon I will be buying SLP Long-Tube Headers, SLP Y-pipe, STS, and gmmg will finish it off. Does that sound sound like it would work? Or do you think there is a better set-up, like I said don't want to screw up and have to pay more money later for different stuff when I could do it right now.
Thanks

Might want to skip the GMMG, if you look at any of the STS pics, there really isn't much room for exhaust, ecspecially for the money you'll spend on the GMMG, might be better to just throw on a Dynomax Bullet, between that and the turbo, it'll kill alot of the noise out. The only thing that would worry me about the headers and y-pipe would be that by going to larger diameter, you reduce backpressure on a N/A car, but with the turbo, the smaller diameter tube would keep the exhaust gas velocity higher, helping spool faster, if you went with like a set of 1 5/8 stepped to 1 3/4 headers, and a medium sized y-pipe, that would be sweet, but you'd need to find a custom header shop, or just go with 1 5/8 headers and have a local exhaust shop make up a y-pipe for ya.
