Default STS pics please

Can some of you guys snap pics of where you modified the pipe after the Y up to the STS pipe?? Also can you post some pics of how you have the turbo positioned to line up with the charge pipes?? I need to get as much done and preassembled as possible since Im not going to have much time to do it in. A measure of how long the pipe is from the flange on the Y to the actual turbo would be awesome too. Thanks alot!!

What's up bro?! I just measured my pipe. From The y-pipe flange back to the end of the pipe is 47 3/4 inches. then the STS exhaust pipe slips over that end.i'll try and get pics later, time to get out on the lake!! good luck. Im not sure if it will be the same on a Tahoe though?

Im hoping the kit is the same. The kit I have is an ext cab kit. Ive sent STS emails, but havent gotten a response. I would think it would be pretty similiar. Thanks for the measurements and pics. More pics are always appreciated!! Anyone have an STS on a Tahoe??

I will try that, I just feel bad taking up their time when I didnt buy the kit from them. I feel like some of the money you spend on a new kit goes to having them available to you. I know email takes time as well, but it can be multitasked a little easier.

speaking from experiance, I have learned that most manufactures are willing to help you out.......better a happy second customer than an unhappy one

The Tahoe mounts differently, so dont go cutting according to the pics. On the suv's the turbo basically mounts over the rear axle.

Do you have a pic?? I was out measuring at it looks like I could mount it right were the ext cab mounts. Are the gaps in the frame rails in the rear different? I dont see anything different in piping.
