"NOTE: An upgrade kit for current owners of the Short Tube System to the Long Tube System is available, please contact your STILLEN rep or email us at [email protected]."

That is BS. I would not buy it unless you can sell yours for good prize. Which I highly doubt.

I agree tho it is stupidity from stillen.

So it would give you an extra 4hp or so at most, I really don't think its worth the effort or the expense.

You know 10 HP, (if it really is 10 HP), would add only 1 to 1.25 MPH in your quarter mile time. I wonder when people tell me they "can feel the difference."

I don't think this is stupidity from Stillen, 'cause it worked on Suby! He's ordering one... why do you think that everytime Apple comes out with a new Ipod model, they only sell it with like 4gb... then 2 months later they release the same model with 8gb... then 6 months later, they release the exact same model with 80GB! They know that people want more power... so they'll hype up the first generation (and you'll buy it), then when the bigger/badder version comes out, you'll buy it too! Predatory marketing at it's finest!

I'm not knocking on you suby, as I'm usually the poor schlub who buys both as well... just hope you can sell your old one to some unsuspecting kid who'll appreciate it...

Let us know!Dave

Early adopters always get screwed! I wouldn't worry about it...probably not worth the extra $$ to get one, unless Stillen can hook you up with an upgrade kit.
