Did the filter go on before the intake pipe was installed? Because it is so close it just doesn't go over the threads, I could always cut the pipe right at that area and add a coupler I guess.

How would HFCS affect a sts setup?

hfc's are fine to run on the setup but TP's would make me sleep better at night in case a cat decided to break apart it would probaly destroy the turbo.

Haha... the "not a problem" phrase when selling products...

Expect your cats to burn out and become test pipes.

edub370 · 01-12-2012, 11:47 AM

well that depends really on what our stock cats are made of? are they ceramic cores?

erkthejerk73 · 01-12-2012, 12:43 PM

ceramic or not i wouldnt want a cat to explode and kill my turbo...

edub370 · 01-12-2012, 12:52 PM

agreed, but a good hfc shouldnt have that prob. stock may

I would think the pieces would have to be quite large to cause damage, I trust what STS tells me so I'm not gonna worry about it

Just telling you "not a problem" is realistically being lazy and not wanting to tell you the pro's and con's of what to expect.

I would suggest you get a second opinion from another reputable company such as GTM since you wouldn't believe the words from a fellow member.

Plus, any small material flying through the blades of the turbo isn't exactly something you want.

I asked STs and Andrew and uam ( who I would of bought the test pipes from ) even he said no even tho he coulda made money off me . That's 2 sources telling me it's fine, I hate the sound of test pipes and want cats. And I'm pretty sure towers runs cats correct me if I'm wrong towers

I'm running with the stock...no changes there. At the same I'm looking at tearing the system out. It's not that I don't like it, I'm just gonna buy a manual and found a low mileage 40th for a good price. Now just to get it back to stock.
