I did some of my research on the 350 forums as they have been out for a while, might help with the vehicle inspection thing. My car will be up on the hoist tomorrow getting some springs put in I will try to take some more pictures for you under the car.

It was an honest pleasure doing business with you.

I will be waiting you reply

Whoever get the kit will have free upgrades with the kit provide by STS

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 · 08-27-2011, 01:38 AM

Also, you running any gauges? I was thinking at LEAST running boost gauge. Although, i'm going to run an HKS EVC-S which will display boost so i don't really need the gauge.

Bump for any updates on this kit

I wanna hear what chinooks sounds like with the resonator

Chinook · 09-10-2011, 10:40 AM

I dont have too much to update at this point, my car was suffering some fuel delivery issues the last couple weeks. There was a clamp that failed on the fuel pump and the hose was slipping off only allowing 25 psi fuel at full throttle. I will say that the customer support from Sts was second to none we were in communication several times a day trying to diagnose it. It started happening shortly after I had the resonator welded on so there was the fear of it being the ecm as the welding shop did not disconnect the battery. Problem is solve and car is driving back to normal I am scheduled in for this thursday to have a dyno tune done as there was a change in elevation of about 2400 feet. I am definatly going to install a fuel pressure gauge after this in addition to the A/F, boost, and oil pressure gauges i am currently running. Now that the resonator is on there it is still relatively loud but not overpowering and you can really hear the turbo since its right at the exhaust tips. It's quite a unique sound and i have had a number of people ask what type of exhaust i was running. I will try to get some audio, I wish i was better with computers but I think a buddy may be able to help me out.

Awesome man I can't wait to hear it

Mr&Mrs · 09-11-2011, 03:33 PM

The loudness does not bother me its the rice can rasp that im concerned with. Did the resinator get rid of this sound? Anyway you could post pics of where the resinator is? Or some under car shots on a lift? Thanks.

kosstick · 09-11-2011, 05:29 PM

Hmm any chance they might fab this for a g37

I believe they had someone quite interested but he decided to go another route It's worth calling them on because I think they are quite interested they'd probably need your car to do it but they did an great job with the install.

G37 thats something we can work on.

It totally got rid of the "rice can rasp" it was definatly there to begin with and now it's a lot more throaty. It's still fairly loud but it doesn't sound all muffler. and a nice rumble when slowing to a stop. I will try and get video tomorrow when it's on the dyno.
