Does anyone have pics of the full install of an sts kit? I would like to see the install of all the piping to see how it's routed. I've seen some pics but not the full install. Hopefully, someone has these.

Hah! That question was right at my fingertips as well when I saw that pic.... Here's the one I am using:


There are some fitment problems, however, that should be fixed this upcoming weekend. As is, it sits too high off of the fan shroud and actually presses up against the hood.

The stock air bridge will not hold up. It is a weak link for the system. It will blow a part on the side. I tried the BBK unit and it had issues fitting under the hood. I made a custom one, but STS said they were working on one a while ago and they may have one available now.
