STS Turbo Corvette on 2 Guys Garage
 
Convertible Z06?

Anyway, shows a lot of details about the STS install.

Funny they said right off the bat it was 405hp. Even at the wheels it is more than that. I love the setup though. Our fabricator at S&R Performance has said he wants to do that type of setup on my car but I think I will wait awhile.

It looks like the mufflers are eliminated when the turbo system is installed.
Is that right Rich ?????? Does your C5Z still have the mufflers, or are they G-O-N-E ?

That is exactly it. Two exhaust tips come right off the turbine side of the turbos and the other two pipes come off the wastegates. No mufflers. The turbos quite it down a lot.

Very cool setup!

That is correct. The turbos replace the catback part of the exhaust system. It gives the car a quite distinctive and aggressive sound.

It is loud, but you get used to it.....

That was awesome. Now I want to do mine! I thought I heard them say 598hp is that right?

Rich Z 04-07-2011 12:52 PM

With the LS6, I was getting around 530hp at the rear wheels. But I was using smaller turbo housings to get the spool up quicker. I don't know what results I will be getting with the new 427 engine and larger turbo housings that are now on it. Hopefully I'll find out next week.

Just for reference, if you want to get an idea of what that exhaust system sounds like INSIDE of the car, the first part of this video will give you a taste of that...

Neat videos, Rich!

Thanks please keep me updated. What turbos did you go with.
