Default STS on lowered car....

Hey my cars got a prokit and I just bought an STS..... if I'm really really careful and make some kinda brace to go under the turbo, and make sure I tuck the whole system should I be good? I'm really really careful up bumps and stuff as it is.

you will need to make sure the turbo is tucked up as high as you can.
You should not have to make anything extra if its done right.

I have a 1" drop with my STS. You don't have to worry about the turbo. It's the intake tubing under the driver side lower control arm where you need to be careful.

I have seen one on lt1 and ls1 both stock height.There is not much clearance under those drivers side pipes.I would leave it stock height if I got an sts.Its a great system though nothing against it.
