I think it is easier to fix a rattle than having the charge pipe were it was on the original location. goosegoose will be so happy about this

Job look clean Julian... me like it

Nice job getting your suggestions implemented. When you first posted your list of "cons" I was thinking how fast STS responds would determine their kit's success. This was a *fast* response. Or is this a MRC "upgrade" to the existing kit? If you did all that work redesigning the piping layout, kudos!

Either way, this kit is looking like a great option for getting 350 to the wheels...

/\ I think STS just gave Julian all the raw materials that he requested and the rest of the custom Fab was done by MRC. I could be wrong but that was STS told me when I spoke to Vernon (from STS).

i wonder if putting on test pipes and removing the resonator would help with response. just clearing out some restrictions before the turbo.

do you think it'll be necessary to heat wrap the exhaust with the intake piping so close to it? Or do you think a heat shield for the pipe would work better?
