See that chart above, the car that dyno'd to produce those charts is a blast to drive. what more you need to know?

Just look at the power levels vs the RPMs. You can use this info to know what the power deliver is like

GRD has these in stock. If you are interested, call them! My car is going in to GRD @ the end of July/early Aug.

As far as availability, I think GRD might have around 10 kits instock

Interestingly enough, the price will not be permanent... hopefully ppl who are interested get it sooner or before it goes back up. I have kicked myself in the past for passing up on certain deals before the prices went up.

I like how everyone is jumping on the APS ST bandwagon as soon as the price went down. If I keep my car past the new years, I'll probably join them. With the new price it can be done for under 7G...

Of course my "prophet of doom" side thinks that, maybe, the APS is just trying to deplete it's ST stock before pulling the plug on them...
After all, there are, like 10 TN ST to 1 APS ST...

Good point...but we still don't know their profit margin....so maybe if they sell enough....they'll keep producing. Let's buy up!

Hah~ha funny Tig... Contrast to many other APS ST owners, I have an overboost problem.. On sixth gear, I see 13psi+!! In 3rd and 4th gear my boost peaks at 11.4psi then holds 9~10psi... I have a custom dual exhaust.. similar to AAM dual exhaust. Boost controller is in the works...

Price drop is great... although I picked mine up brand new for $4000 from the classifieds...

oh now now. the single I installed has next to no boost taper. maybe 1/2 lb.

Boost taper on this is 90% due to restrictive exhausts being paired with the kit. The other 10% were improperly preloaded actuators. So, properly set the preload on the actuator and run a proper flowing exhaust and taper will not be an issue

NOT true. The exhaust is just currently out of stock. The exhaust is NOT discontinued

Have you seen the APS hompage lately?
The Z is gone and got replaced by a C6. They have a new halo car and there are 2 kits for the Z already. I will stop at this point. If my paranoia is unfounded I do not want to end up screwing things up for any APS dealers.

Replaced by the C6 because it is their newly released kit. the C6 kit is just finding its way into US consumers hands.

Oleg, you do realize at some point, the TT, XTT, and the ST will all be dropped by APS? As will the greddy TT, and the TN ST, and all the others

And at 5000 dollars, why would the demand stop for the aps st? i think they put themselves back in the mix for the st kit to have. peoples biggest complaints were the customer service and price. i don't wanna argue the pros and cons of the kits. your propaganda campaign has to stop oleg. if you have direct knowledge that aps is discontinuing the st exhaust and dropping the st kit, by all means post up. if all you are doing is talking out your glutes, keep it to yourself homie.
