you just have to be careful about driving this in snow, water, and watch out for pot holes!
actually sts has solutions for all of these problems
snow and water: sts has created a relocation kit for the intake cone so that the cone is kept dry
and pot holes: are you worried about hitting your muffler on a pot hole, the turbo does not sit much lower than your stock or aftermarket muffler

STS makes kits for off-roading Tundras and Tacomas. This is what made them popular. If they can go through mud, rivers, etc. with a STS system, you can handle the light rain, and puddles in your Mustang.

well i am not worried about my muffler because it doesnt cost 3 grand. I have in fact hit my muffler before on a pot hole, that was when it was stock tho, now i have an mrt. the sts makes a great system, but imo you are better off with a normal turbo system on a car you drive daily in a four season climate such as michigan for me.

they sound rowdy as hell, i have heard/seen horror storys about turbos burning up cause of the lack of opil pressure, you have to run an oil line from the front of the car to the back......so you may go through snails. but on the positive note, they dont make to awful bad #'s, are easy to install, require little to no fabrication of existing parts, and like i said...sound badass. The only thing i dont like is it chanegs the exhaust note up quite a bit.
