Cute video.........I am SURE the Vette is smoking fast but that high pitched whiz/turbo 4 cyl sound makes my brain hurt.......a vette should sound like a vette.....with 8 cylinders & some cajones. 
Again, not saying that the STS wouldn't make the car a rocket ship, I just prefer that muscle car sound........a guy I know in So Cal put a (used
) ATI Procharger on his '02 WS6 and then installed a blowback(?) valve? Why oh WHY would you do that? All the ricers in my neighborhood thought it rocked when he came up the street and revved, I just wanted to sink down in the seat and hide. If you have a turbo that is one thing, but on a S/C????? Am I wrong here?

Same guy who has had (no exaggeration) at least 7 different catbacks/exhausts (currently has true duals IIRC) on that car and converted it from an A4 to an M6 within 6 months of buying it....instead of just buying an M6 to begin with.

Am I the only one that thought that Corvette sounded sweet? Did you guys just not hear the turbos or something? I don't see how it sounded anything like a 4 cylinder. The turbo spool was louder than the exhaust, but you could still hear the muscle beneath the turbo spool. I do agree that it could use a louder exhaust, but doesn't sound like a 4 cyl to me..

think about it a bypass or blow-off valve is installed to bypass the supercharger/turbo when the throttle is closed or at part throttle. when you build up boost and all of a sudden close the throttle where's that air supposed to go? Most eaton's these days have a built in bypass that goes right into the intake manifold. Prochargers don't have that option because they're basically belt driven turbo's so you install one in the intake ducting BEFORE the MAF (assuming a blow through setup) or anywhere after the turbo/sc if you're running SD. (people wonder why putting a bypass after the maf makes their car surge... )

Can you imagine what this kit would do with a low compression LS7?
