I need to hear this kit the only videos I can find sound like garbage. Please get some vids and or sound clips up.

^Yes please!

I have seen and heard Chinooks setup and I am impressed with the performance. However, the rasp and noise level of the exhaust at that 2500-3000 rpm range is quite distracting and excessive. A resonator would definitely help.

...but where to put it?

In between the exhaust manifolds and the turbo. You run risks of pieces of the resonator coming apart (which most likely won't happen) and sucking in to the turbo which will result in damage.

The turbo isn't creating the rasp... it's the serious lack of any type of resonation in the whole exhaust system.

Also, is there cats on this set up? Are there any safeguards against peices of the cat coming loose and getting sucked in to the turbo?

This whole setup is mind boggling. I want to see pictures of all the components not installed.

I am running Stillen hfc's After speaking with STS yesterday I had a baffle style resonator installed today. it sounds much better now. toned it down and now you can really hear the sound of the turbo being how its right at the tailpipes. So far STS has been very quick to respond to any questions i have had, their customer support seems to be great.

Where did you have the resonator installed? Did it quiet down the rasp?

I have a big pet peeve with rasp.... that's the only thing im afraid of with this kit.

The resonator was installed on the straight section right at the clamp after the y and it did take out the rasp I will try to get some more pics up for you, I'm going to a meet this Sunday so maybe you will get a couple more opinions on the sound.

Do you have boost controller or are you just running the psi of the wastegate spring?

Is it internal or external wastegate and what psi does it run at without boost controller?

Edit: i think i asked the same question.... whatever, it's late and i'm tired.

atx370z · 08-23-2011, 11:34 PM

I might actually consider this kit if i thought i had a snowballs chance in hell of passing a TX vehicle inspection with it...

blackonorange · 08-24-2011, 06:11 AM

If you left the exhaust stock and cats stock would you still need the resonator ?

wheee! · 08-24-2011, 07:26 AM

^ there IS no exhaust system with the STS turbo... the turbo IS the exhaust!
