Default STS Twin Turbo (anyone have one?)

I'm considering adding an STS twin turbo to my 07 coupe. From what I have seen (including the episode on Horse Power TV) it looks like a pretty solid kit. The showed 537rwhp at 7psi after the kit ws installed.

I'm wondering about reliablity, issues, etc. One thing that scares me is that they have the chager pipes running under the rocker panels (it's a rear mounted TT). Does the heat cause any issues with the paint?

Any comments would be great good or bad.

From everything I hear/see they make a great kit. Like anything it has its pros and cons... Do your research, there are dozens of threads on "STS vs. _____" all over the forum... do a search. Preference plays a big role too. I went with another manufacturer based on my preferences:

- I like the turbos as close to the manifolds as possible
- I do not like cats before my turbos
- I don't like my turbos visable from outside the car
- I dont need a kit that is CARB approved

Good luck, you can't really make a "bad" choice... just make sure you make the right one for you.
