If this is a good news then why would it be locked? I smell trouble here!!!
I will be purchasing resonated test pipes and an upgraded Y-pipe in the next 2 weeks in preparation to switch back to the stock exhaust and visit CIN.
I'm excited, I feel like pooping.

I have contacted STS to see if they'd like to "sponsor" my car, just to see what kind of power this kit is really good for. If anyone has any info, please let me know, thanks

From what I understand it would be fairly easy to upgrade the turbo on this kit. and it looks like a fairly well insulated exhaust system will keep spool times comparable with those of turbos mounted in the engine bay. I would deffinitely talk to bobby and matt at CIN motorsports here in charlotte about it

Plus, I am kinda curious to just see what this kit can actually do. Besides, can you imaging how this would sound with that much boost and the waste gates opening. It already sounds like a damn jet 
Anyway, I'm lookin at the STS or the APS single, so we'll see.

You would probablly do better with a more reliable system than STS. Quite a few of us have experienced poor results, defective parts, causing long delays in getting your ride on the road with the STS.

If you get a sponsorship then maybe it is worth it
When you call STS, they usually ask you first what power goal do you want so so they can Tailor the kit for you and STAY AWAY FROM CHRIS!!! Take the easiest route and just go with a TT and it has been proven already.

I know it would be easier to just get a TT kit and be done with it. However, aren't you at all curious just how much this kit is able to make? I am. They are able to make tons of power with the other kits they make for other cars, I'd like to see just how high it can push the VQ.

SO TRUE about CHRIS!
Do you mean just yourself? Cube has a cancellation problem and never even had a chance to see the kit in person. Aarantes has a misfortune and still waiting on his response on who was at fault with his car. Once you have the kit installed and tuned right, I haven't seen anyone come in here complain about the kit giving them problems. You are the only one that expect to have everything work 100% at all time, heck even OEM parts fail

We were the first ones to install an STS kit on a customers car, and had alot of issues and things we did not like about the kit. STS was very helpfull until they stole our idea for the piping(which I reccomended to them prior to releasing the kit anyhow,), Used countless hours of our time helping them with stuff they couldnt figure out,like the whole Walbro intank pump thing
, and then they stabbed us in the back on a business deal and lied about it to me..In my opinion, I would stay FAR away from STS and their "Snake oil salesman"..
But hey, what do we know, were only one of the top 350Z shops in the country..
not a domestic shop attempting to play with import cars cause they see a market..
