A hot pipe will flow at a much greater velocity then a cold pipe. I raced snowmobiles for years and we always used to put the sled on jack stands on the starting line and would crank the machine to redline a few times to get the "heat into the pipe".
The rear mount STS system takes into consideration the thermal loss that occurs from the exhaust traveling from the exhaust port to the turbine housing. In essence they "gear" the turbine wheel to scroll up faster with less velocity. We have installed several of thise kits with great luck. They are not a high end kit like the APS units we install but are effective. We recently did a new C6 with twins on a stock motor and made over 500 to the wheel on 7 psi. I also have a friend of mine that has a C5 with a 408 making over 760 RWHP and runs 9.30's on drag radials!
Personally I prefer front mounts!
