STS Systems

I might actually consider this kit if i thought i had a snowballs chance in hell of passing a TX vehicle inspection with it...

If you left the exhaust stock and cats stock would you still need the resonator ?

wheee! · 08-24-2011, 08:26 AM

^ there IS no exhaust system with the STS turbo... the turbo IS the exhaust!

blackonorange · 08-24-2011, 08:40 AM

I know sorry I meant leave it all stock would it still do it?

edub370 · 08-24-2011, 09:01 AM

another question that i'm not sure if it has been asked or not, but where exactly does this system start? is it designed to bolt inot the stock exhaust from a certain point or is there some exhuast piping provided?

Bolt on system

stells370 · 08-24-2011, 12:04 PM

from the pictures it looks like it bolts to the cats

fxroar · 08-24-2011, 12:07 PM

Any update on the 370s with these installed on the road?

Jamaica · 08-24-2011, 12:09 PM

Yes there is one

atx370z · 08-24-2011, 02:05 PM

What is it about this kit that makes everyone not want to divulge any real information about it. Why aren't there any install pics? Why aren't prices for this kit posted on line? Why isn't there any pictures of the kit NOT installed? Why isn't there any good videos or sound clips? WHY WHY WHY!?

I'm very interested in this kit, but the lack of information isn't helping me make an informed decision on whether to spend the money on it or not.

Also, the Texas vehicle inspection issue...... Seems like it's something that can't be avoided.

atx370z · 08-24-2011, 02:06 PM

It seems like this kit would take a few hours to install. Everything bolts up underneath the car expect for the intercooloer piping which seems about as easy as installing a set of stillen intakes.

wheee! · 08-24-2011, 02:24 PM

The kit is a straight enough install for the big parts.... it's all the hoses and plumbing that makes it a little intricate, not to mention the new injectors and oil return lines etc.

I have seen the finished product and would not recommend this to someone to try and install without medium to advanced mechanical skills. It's a job best left to the pros!

As for the pics, STS installs these systems and posts pictures etc, but the best advice is to talk to them directly if you are serious about the system

I received my best info from Jamaica@UA, service was excellent that's who I'd contact. There aren't many pictures because other than the Nismo on their website, mine was the first done they didn't have the install manual done at the time I picked my car up, they were still putting it together. 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.

atx370z · 08-25-2011, 06:45 PM

Just spoke with Uprev... they told me that there shouldn't be a problem passing TX inspection with this kit installed. As soon as i hear back from Jamaica@UA... I most likely will have a kit on the way.

Where did you have the resonator installed? Did it quiet down the rasp?

I have a big pet peeve with rasp.... that's the only thing im afraid of with this kit.
