Every motor will not require the same exhaust; and some of us would like to keep our dual exhaust; so I think the remainder of the exhaust should be up to the customer. Besides, a Y-pipe (research and development) and shipping will probably add another $350 to the kit price.
Personally I think the fuel should be left to the customer since different motor combinations will want different fuel.

I'm sure that the intercooler system top tank casting will look very cool when you open the hood.

The intercooler core only or the entire intercooler assembly?

I have those now, they came with the FLP long tube headers.

Are you designing any bungs on the inlet piping so someone can drill and tap for maybe a nitrous dry shot?

I think it would be wise to pay your deposit in early to mid May at the latest if you want to ensure getting into this $5495 deal inc free door to door air freight as I expect that all of the F body twin turbo systems will be sold (spoken for) with a few weeks of APS taking deposits. I feel the despatch date may need to be pushed back a few weeks to around the middle of August as we are currently running approximately 2 weeks behind on the F body twin turbo project.

Thanks,

Thanks and I'm now starting to get very excited with the F body twin turbo project...............it's going to be awesome when completed.

You don't need big cubes to make a relaible 800 rwhp.............If I were you I would build a high flow 346 cube engine and run around 18 PSI, all good.

The F body intercooler package will fit like a glove and retain the factory AC. I like the idea of twin 3 inch side pipes, maybe you could fit some resonators to quiten down the exhaust /turbo noise. Just a thought.

Thanks,

I feel that would kill the power potential on a twin turbo engine as the factory exhaust does not have high exhaust flow.

Is the intercooler going to mount similiar to the way notasponsorturbos have there mounted?

There's no point to that when the exact Y pipe part is easily available in the US at a lower cost.

What brand of cat back system are you currently running?

I know that some fold are not crazy about oil return pumps so that was one of the important criteria when designing the F body TT system................also saves some $$$$ in the cost of production of the TT system whish we allocated to running real TIAL external wastegates for precise boost control.

I'm 99% sure that most F body guys will ever want or need larger turbochargers as the F body twin turb o car will be in reality traction limited not power limited.

Turbos on Gas engines without watercooling is just plain silly imho................a little like fitting drum brakes to a 2007 high performance passenger................makes zero sense to me when you consider the advanatages of a water cooled turbocharger.

Thanks,

Peter

honestly people. who on here has bought a set of headers? prob most of u. and guess what unless u paid for an flp or dynatech system (and a couple others) u had to order a y pipe seperately. it was just included with the headers. i dont see whats so hard about going on thunder or speed inc or the likes website and clicking the mouse 3 times to buy a y pipe if u so choose to go that route. this will leave the door open for the guys who choose to run duals still. figure with how proud aps is of their beatiful products and the amount of time and research they put into designing these products. now say theu do make a y pipe and offer if as an option for this kit. im going to bet its $300-$400 plus shipping it to the states. (lets not forget mufflex and qtp get almost 400 for an ORY made in aluminized) now knowing that any y pipe that will fit a hooker header will bolt right up i bet the majority of people are going to go buy the $150 one somewhere else or have one made locally the way u want it. u r making a huge deal out of this and its really not. i think the fact that this company is putting this kind of time into a platform that has been discontinued for 5+ yrs is incredible and they need to be cut a hair more slack than they would on say a c6 or gto system. ive just installed 1 gto kit and will be doing a second shortly and i can promise that when the funds in my bank account allow i will have this system on my ss.

*rant over* keep up the good work guys!

lol at Peter...he is a vendor so he cant really say "get the ***** off my nuts and buy you a ypipe"
I'd like the option of being able to find a hooker ypipe on ebay or used on the boards and not having to pay for it in the kit...i am a cheapskate!!!

Peter, i liked the watercooled part of my incon kit. where will you get/return the water from? I only ask because incon used a place on the ls1/ls6 block....great until i got my lq4 block and it was in a different place and a pain to configure. Just wanted to throw that out there. Can you furnish a ypipe for my ofi kit?

how much is the kit going to be after the intro price??? i know im going to miss the first 50 which is going to suck

peter@aps

There is a really simple option to hook up the exhaust system...............just order a hooker header Y pipe.................lol.

Yup, it took me about 30 seconds to find the Y-pipe on the first sponsor I looked at here in the states. I can have a Hooker Y-pipe on my doorstep in a day for 190 + shipping.

Hey Peter, offer to include one in the kit, painted for 400 and coated for 600. Paypal me the money and I'll drop ship it. We can split the profit.. Or they can buy it themselves...

Most welcome and I'm pushing for APS to develop a twin 2.5 inch side pipe exhaust system.

You're a cheapskate and have a turbo system....perhaps you should reconsider what you are doing.

My biggest gripe is you have this beautiful turbo system, polished stainless steel everywhere, and you're going to throw an ugly *** hooker Y pipe on it....which again, is really ******* ugly....Also for your OFI kit, you don't need a Y pipe, it is a single turbo kit in case you missed that part. You have 1 pipe from the turbo back to the I pipe which to the best of my knowledge is supplied.

The QTP/Mufflex aluminized Y pipe is a piece of junk too. Kooks has a stainless Y, but do I really take a chance on a $300 Y pipe? It'll probably fit, but probably also means my car will either hum and rattle to no end or scrape the floor for every pebble in the way (of course I am being extreme, but you get the point)

I don't understand why the GTO and Vette guys get it and we don't

Dump in front of the tires? Oval pipe like NASCAR uses?
