Sweet STS turbo Kit on a LS1 Sand Rail: Very Nice, I thought you guys would like this. Some company called STS out of Orem Utah built a one off for some guy. Talk about long tube headers, i like the "Rib Cage" look.

I don't like the log/manifold thing. I would have been just as easy to get a nice header built with a nice collector on the turbo flange. Then he'd probably only need one wastegate.

i think it will look funny when hes got flames only comin out of the passenger side pipe but the setups a little out there and with that power it should be super fast

Ouch, that log manifold is a no no. Especially the exhaust pulses firing at each other. You have 8 cylinders flowing through 1 3" pipe......I hope he has those heads studded down nice and tight...lol

with that much space I bet equal lengths would have been no problem.
I think it looks pretty cool but whats with the two wastegates and their locations?

That reaps of creativity and design by an artist, but not by someone who knows what their doing performance wise. Good for pictures, but just not what the doctor would have ordered. Exhaust actually has to fight for proper waste gate evac in some situations... and thats just one of the numerous broken rules...however, if it makes power to acceptable levels...great. Not everone is looking to go max effort/best design. Some choose form over function.
