To earleier post:

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!

Tower:

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 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.

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

Twin Turbo with Stock Cats?
2007 Mustang GT. Getting rid of STS TURBO-Thinking about a Paxton - Ford Mustang Forums
MY350Z.COM Forums - View Single Post - Official STS Rear Mount Turbo Discussion Thread
Corvette Forum - View Single Post - STS Twin Turbo

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

well as the owner of a turbo car running 18psi i can tell you for a fact that having a stainless core cat will DRASTICALLY reduce the chances of cat failure. ceramic core cats are more inexpensive but often prematurely fail in turbo cars because of the excessive heat. many people dont consider this when goin from NA to turbo but its definately something to look into

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.
