GTM Stage 2 Supercharger Preliminary Testing Results

I don't really like how these non-gtm exhaust parts are said to "not work". I think they would benefit the kit, if they were able to fit (LTH).

We're not saying that only GTM exhaust parts will work with the kit. As far as cat-backs, test pipes and HFC's, stock and aftermarket are concerned, they work just fine with our Stage 2 kit.

It is not desirable to go with a large diameter cat-back because this system needs some back pressure to work well. Besides, one of the main reasons for going with a supercharger as opposed to a twin turbo is for the additional bottom end torque the supercharger provides.

That's what Sam's comment was about.

As for the LTH, they are physically larger than the factory headers and there's just not enough room for them to coexist with the larger supercharger system. Besides, the Stage 2 Supercharger makes 500+whp on the stock exhaust...what more do you want?
