STS Turbo
I'm pretty new to the whole turbo thing but i'm wondering about the piping on the STS kit. i have full exhaust with long tubes and i'm wondering what i will still be able to use if any of it? Like am i going to have to say good bye to the long tubes?

I just got the STS kit and also have Long Tube Headers. You do not need to lose the headers as the STS kit bolts on in place of your mufflers, like a cat back system kinda. People have recommended that you wrap your headers though. The only things you will have to lose are your mufflers and intake.

For small displacements the stock manifold system works best. For larger 402's headers can help improve the exhaust gas flow.
