Think it's capable of more than the TTIX or just want to try something new?

Based on the recent results it seems like it's capable of more, and the 72's are due out soon. Plus I've just had a hard on for that kit for a while. So both.

Good deal... that will be interesting to see. I would have considered it if I had seen more people using it back when I bought my SC kit.

Someone should buy this used TTiX kit. It's already sorted, available and we know it works. I bought mine used about 7 years ago and it still works just as well as the day I installed it.

I don't know much about either kit (or turbo sizes for that matter) so that's why I was wondering.. haven't a few people put down some pretty good #'s with the UPP kit already?

All the UPP stuff, including the soon to be 72's and top mount kit are T3 based. But yea, a couple have put down over 1200 on ~20-21# with the 62mm fender kit.

For what it's worth, I just helped ship an On3 Camaro single kit back due to **** poor quality - particularly the exhaust manifolds.
The customer has a Huron Speed kit coming and we will see how it compares. Huron has recently put together a C5 TT kit. Hopefully it will pan out to be another option.

The On3 manifold flanges were warped, the welds (and I use that term loosely) did not have proper penetration and had porosity issues. The bends created very poor flow paths with odd outlet geometry which would have created significant back pressure issues. The manifolds were supposed to be 1 7/8" but had an inside diameter closer to 1 3/4".
Maybe next time you should take a personal look instead of basing your opinion on what you "heard" from your brother's uncle's sister's cousin.
im not saying all On3 kits are trash but this one was. It could very well be the unicorn but I doubt it.

I see what you're saying but 1 3/4 tubular manifolds are perfect with a turbo set up. Should've just sent the kit back and got another then spend a couple K on a different kit. But hey it's not my money I don't know what it's like to make 10k biweekly with my eyes closed. For the vette kit under 5k it looks good to me even if you had to modify something for less then $100. If customer service is bad then I understand

The On3 cold side wasn't too bad.
I don't have ties with On3 or Huron Speed. The Huron Speed kit was well worth the price difference as a function of quality, fit, and finish. Just stating my opinion.
