You should be able to get something to work for alot cheaper. Even if they have a patent it does not matter legally unless you try to copy their design and SELL kits. You will want to find a member on the board with an STS setup and find out the Turbo size, Hot and cold sides. After that just get started on setup, you can by a crude pipe bender at harbour freight and do somewhat smooth bends by capping the pipe, fill with soapy water and freeze, if you have a big stand up freazer. The one I have only goes to 2.5 inch pipe though I think.. Other option is to go down to an exhaust shop and have them bend your pipe, or just buy a bunch of bends from jegs and fab it that way. the other parts you can buy off ebay as you get the money. Fab will take a while if you dont work on it full time, so you should be able to pick up peices as you work on fab. I was kicking around buying an STS setup over a year ago and after talking to them on the phone I decided I would rather pick my eyes out with a pencil than deal with them again. So if I ever did a rear mount I would build it myself. Having said all of this if I ever go F/I it will be a single 80 mm front mount!
at least someone is on my side. thanks man
yeah thats really the route im thinking...i get money and buy something i can. if i cant buy anything i need at the moment ill just sit on it and wait another 2 weeks. what would be better to do...the pipe bender at home or buying mandrel u's and j's??? i know the mandrel makes for alot of cutting and welding but its no problem i have a hotrod shop at my office....my boss is a hotrod freak so we have a shop in the back of the building...so cutting and welding is nothing. im not sure if we have our own pipe bender cuz we normally do the mandrels....
im pretty excited! i mean if i can get a set up like that for under 2000 ill be super stoaked
