So a test pipe would be the best way to go with a sts system? Might be a problem for those who live in "carb testing " areas . Anybody have to take there system off to pass a emissions ?

carb testing with turbo/sc isnt likely going to pass unless you have a stillen 50card legal system.

i thought no matter what, "some" material does burn/break off the HFC's core. it might not be much but some does come off......no?

Why would you ask GTM about a product that is not there's? Of course there are going to have there input in there about a competitors kit.
Have a questions call Vernon or Rick at STS. This setup is different compared to other kits.

Sure it is a competitors kit but it never hurts to ask. Plus it isn't like he is going to GTM to fix or trouble shoot the kit. He would only ask a general question about whether the cats would break or not because of the turbos. Heck he doesn't even have to mention to GTM about an STS kit or not for that question. Also, I only used GTM as an example too. It doesn't have to be GTM.

Seriously though, I still wouldn't run stock cats with this setup. Or you may end up like that plane in the water.

STS makes the kit not anyone else. HAvibg there techs can answer questions about a part being used with there kit is more beneficial then calling stillen and gtm and asking can I run stock cats with STS turbo when they have no part of making the kit

this is especially true because gtm will say "meh if it breaks apart its no big deal because it's after your turbo anyways"

that would be like asking microsoft how to fix a mac

If you can help it, you don't want anything to make contact with your turbine/compressor wheel. Options for CARB issues would be return to stock for inspection or get a gutted HFC/Cat AND ensure that your tune can pass the sniffer test (if they do that in your area). If you run a HFC/Cat, you will need to inspect it quite frequently to prevent an "unfortunate" situation!

Are you getting bored with the 7AT?

^nah..it's just I haven't found any upgrades for that tranny and I'm worried that if I continue increasing the HP that I will shred to pieces. Tons of upgrades for the manual.

You say you want more power right? but how much of that time are you really going to use that power?

You do have a point there.....well you know that HP to us is like crack to a crackhead. Once you've tried you can't get enough.
