K heres the background. 99rcsb, 212/218, full bolt ons, long tubes exhaust etc FLT level 7 trans, 4.10's and Tru Trac.

Ive always wanted a Maggie, and have been tossing around the idea. However, When i built the truck years ago, I was on a budget and used pacesetter Lt's and had custom exhaust work done. Well pacesetters look like ***, and my "custom" exhaust is now hitting my axle after another shop butchered it. So Im was planning on Redoing exhaust with AR LT and Y pipe setup and Corsa sport Catback......

Im thinking tho, maybe I can get two birds stoned at once. I know the differences between maggie and sts, the plus and minus to both. There are a few Roots style around here, but no STS locally, So it may be a bit different.
Instead of redoing exhaust, just using the STS kit and it will eliminate me having to redo all my exhaust because it will repalce it. What i cant find tho are complete isntructions on the STS kit to see if it comes with new manifolds, and full piping to the turbo....

Whats everyone think of the Idea of the STS, and does anyone have a complete parts list it comes with...the sts site is poop

thanks

I still like mine!

IN before the haters take this thread over.

 

The only exhaust that the STS kit replaces is the muffler.

 

all the STS kits iv seen replace the muffler and have piping to the intake..
alot of people add longtubes and a custom FMIC...

 

Hmmm... you sure guys are adding LT's i was told to ditch long tubes and go back manifolds but i said Hell with that... But i could be wrong. But the intercooler is a great upgrade i hear

 

ooo really....i thought it was the whole setup...wellll F that, thought i could tackle a few task in one...moving on thanks for the info guys

 

My point was, that the OP would still need to redo his entire exhaust system even if he used an STS kit. Ditch the LTs and put the stock exhaust manifolds back on. The money you save can be used towards a better tranny.

 

I have a FLT level 7...there is no better

 

Start turning up the boost and you will find out otherwise. If you stay below 500 rwhp you will be fine.

 

I am sure you could find a used sts kit that the person would part with the whole exhaust at the same time. If I were to sell mine, I would. Any other direction would require long tubes or front mount manifolds.
