that much restriction before the turbo can't be good. lose that stock exhaust and move the turbo closer to the motor.

On a rear-mounted remote turbo setup, the turbocharger replaces the muffler. If you don't do this, you will never remedy your issue. There is too much heat and consequently pressure lost by the time the exhaust gasses reach the turbos due to the cats and muffler baffles. There are three mufflers (one huge dual-in/dual-out about mid-way back and two smaller muffs right before the tailpipes) in that system as well. At least remove the last two (the turbos will muffle quite a bit anyway) and see where you are at; personally I would remove all but the cats for now.

It's also a good idea to check the condition of the cats while you're under there; if the cats blow out your turbos are done.

I agree w what all of u guys are saying but he is stubborn and thinks he is gong to ub bolt the kit for warranty work and trick the dealer. Don't think that's gonna happen at all. So might as well straight pipe it to the turbos and be done. The spool time will be decreased and it will sound way better.

He wants what he wants so I'm just doing it for him

SO take the cats off now with the turbo and bolt them back on for warranty work.

You can still get warranty work after exhaust work. Ditch the huge middle muffler and set up the turbos to swap out with the rear mufflers; switch them out when it comes time to go to the dealer. Leave the cats alone; just make sure they aren't going to break up and FUBAR your turbos.

My sts had the cat and no muffler and it wasn't loud or hardly ANY lag at all. Pipes wrapped. Ran great!

They are DESIGNED to leave the cat and replace the muffler; that's why they're so easy to pass emissions testing with. I really don't know what the hurdle is in this specific situation.

I actually would play games with the idea myself, but I worry that I would suck some sand or water up in short order.
