Allow me to clarify my original question: will Stripper be providing exhaust piping from the header back, s-pipe back, or from the axel back?

Not as of yet we are in the process of getting that figured out. we are trying not to get ahead of ourselves. We want to get the testing done fist then when we get that done we will have pricing finalized.

there is 16 pages and im not reading through all of them to see why you chose a rear mount. there is so much room under the hood of the tc, what was the plan for that? it would be cheaper i give you that.

so this turbo setup will allow the person to have a race header/ shorty header setup correct? due to the turbo being in the rear so there is no need for the header manifold for the engine bay to be there? Thats pretty crazy lol run a race header with this turbo = sick whp lol

so this is a turbo kit that you absolutely can't drive in the rain? with the intake mounted so low behind the car, hydrolocking becomes a serious threat. as well as being extra extra careful with anything to go over on the road.

It should be water safe as it will have an air filter, a sock and a metal shield protecting it, and if that does not seem good enough I'm sure you could make an intake pipe and put it somewhere higher

Honestly... It shouldn't be any more prone to water ingestion than a CAI... One friend of mine recently hydrolocked his tc down here in florida - during that tropical wave that dumped on us for 4 days straight - by driving thru something he shouldn't have, and all he has is a CAI (Injen I think). Odds are that puddle was fairly deep. the rain was giving me problems too, in the form of almost constant hydroplaning when I was going in a straight line... & I avoid puddles like the plague!

I wouldnt worry about it... just dont treat the tc like a boat and you will be fine!

I think they mentioned something about a snorkle being available as well that tucks it up in the wheel well.
