Default Weight of the STS System?

Anyone know what the weight of the STS TT setup is and what the distribution of weight is?

Probably a little heavier in the rear since the turbos are in the back, depending if you had factory exhaust pipes (not Ti's).

If you had Ti's in the rear, it will be definitely heavier in the rear.

The c5 is nearly 50/50 weight split front to rear. A twin turbo kit that mounts both turbos up front wont change the weight split enough to matter. Just move the battery to the rear with LPE's relocation kit.

Default Still looking for total weight of the system...

Still interested in the total weight of the system. How much to the 3,100 # will be added with the STS twin set up on an '01 Z?

Great information on the balance of the system between front and back. That is one selling point for me.

In your case, since you have Ti exhaust you are going to gain quite a few pounds.

The best bet would be to figure out what the shipping weight of the system is and use that as a baseline figure.

I think the whole kit weighs around 150-180 lbs.
