from what i have been told exhaust gas cools down making them more inefficient. but if you have no room in the bay then theres a pro for it

STS is a pretty cool set-up. Like it was said above me, there is very minimal lag so that has to be the biggest pro. Con? Having the room I guess. There are some good videos on youtube I think of an STS Vette. Seems to push out pretty good. Also, didnt the guys on Horse Power TV do an STS build on a Vette or Camaro once? That build performed well too if I remember right.

A guy I work with has one on his Z28. Trying to see if it is an alternative to a custom setup or the one and only kit designed for my car.

Haven't ridden in it. At 9lbs he's putting 500 to the wheels he said. Says there is zero lag.

with running the chargepipes from the back of the car to the from it makes a liner intercooling effect so combined with a big intercooler in the front you get a 99% cooling efficiency
