You are both correct, that is a huge factor. Typically a STS power curve is up higher due to more lag them a front mount. I also hear there is a noticable difference in spool and power with an sts, after the turbo gets hot it makes more power and spools faster. Most guys are getting the pipes coated and then wrap the snot out of them to keep all the heat in. If you are going to spend the money and want 800 hp, go front mount. similar cost, more power, more bling, more return value. I do not have first hand with a rear mount, but I have a ton with a front mount and am very happy with everything.
