        yes.. ive read that too.. you wouldnt get thru a tech inspection at a drag strip with one..

        a few searches for this on here and on other forums will net you basically the same answer..
        worth it on cars with nowhere else to put the turbo
        better options exist for cars with space in the engine bay for the turbo

              Header wrap can help over short distances but it isn't the perfect fix for all situations. There is only so much you can do and with about 8' of pipe it will loose efficiency. I'm not saying it's completely worthless but that there are better options, particularly for the money.

                ceramic coating is also rather effective.

                  yeah the sts system is kinda high priced.......i am working on building one like it for a lot less....and to get around the loss of energy going through all the exhaust pipe to the rear....i am going to run a custom exhaust from front to rear using smaller pipe to keep the gases flowing faster with a bit more pressure....lol..it helps when you dad rebuilds turbo for a living....he's gonna help me set it up
