I have the metallic cats. I changed mine out at early (legally have to fail or the car has to have 85k+ miles), I was worried cause they sometimes do a visual. They didn't look this year so I got lucky.
So you guys are running a breather on the drivers side and a check valve on the passenger side PCV line. I thought most people ran the catch can (sometimes with a breather filter) on the passenger side PCV line, w/ a check valve of course.

I have sts turbo myself and like to compare if my number is right. I was making 322 whp @5psi on dyno dynamic and at first, I thought it was "low" but it seems it's the norm. Maybe I was expecting vortech out of the box number.

What?! Show me a vortech that produce 322whp at 5psi on a DD. Stock Votech is close to 8psi and mid 350whp. Trust me there are already 2 former Vortech owners that just switched to STS and both are happy with their decision. Was your number raw DD numbers? If it is then that is a good number for just 5psi.

All things considered.....My STS set up crushes my previous Vortech set up in every way. The only advantage Vortech has is its CARB EO# for Cali residents. Good choice with the STS IMO.

I just finished reading every single post over the last 3 days
I am planning on ordering a STS kit from a registered dealer.
8400 installed and tuned in Canada! Stupid exchange rate.
Might be able to get it lower since the economy is still going down the toilet.

So all in all how would u rate this kit.
I just ordered mine about 2 weeks ago and im really having doubts about it after reading the first 30 or so pages i ust got tired and gave up on it... But then i read the last pages and i hear great comments ..so has all the lil details been fixed as far as theie missing parts and defects or do they still have the same issues?
