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

I can go on and on with a simple search. But I guess everyone is right and that it's "not a problem."

You can always find failures on the interest of you search them theres people running stock cats with the system an that's what I wanna do if my cats explode then you can say I told you so, until then I will stick with what te manufacturer tells me as well as my vendor. Thanks for the concern

Of course there will always be failure. The real question is at what rate are the failures appearing.

If a product had 95% great reviews and 5% terrible, chances are it is a great product. If a product has 50% great reviews and 50% terrible reviews, it will make you think twice.

I was only trying to show that the cats are a problem when people say they aren't. I am just looking out for the best of others that are running this kit. I mean if you truly want to stick with the cats then by all means stay with it. But just saying "not a problem" is realistically not true because nothing is perfect.

Very true. I've got about 2500 miles on mine and we looked into the turbo about 2 weeks ago and it was clean. Spun the blades and they continued to spin a few minutes after. So everything so far is working but as you said Sh't happens and if spending a few extra hundred to save thousands doesn't really sound that bad of an idea.
