Default STS Kit for Corvettes

I have had a few customers come to my shop and talk about it, but i didnt have any clue that it was as loud as they had said until i heard it. Lol.

I was just curious what was done to it. If anyone knows, do tell. Cause it sounds like a beast.

May be the rear turbo kit. Usually the turbos aren't that loud unless mounted in the back near the exhaust tips

....you have obviously never dealt with alot of boost, or a large turbo.

.....I am referring to the Kits that are offered by vendors. Anything is possable when you customize your own but for the Bolt on kits that are sold for 5th Generation corvettes APS, TTi, LPE, FLP they are rather quite and you can search numerous threads on www.corvetteforum.com of actual owners relaying the same with the exception of the rear turbo kits.

That guy tried me on 275 like 3 or 4 days ago Keep in mind, i drive a civic! I was like dude, you dont think i hear that big ass turbo coming from the exhaust? and when he realised i wasnt gonna bite he took off and yeah its sounds sick and is pretty loud. i think on nitrous my car coulda hung though, he didnt take off all that fast.

I like the TTI kits myself, I've seen a few used kits on the forum go for $3500!!! Shit that would make my car like 550rwhp on 10lbs, and it bolts on!
