Thanks for the the order. We appreciate everyone we get.

I know there has to be more than on choice for people to make on different parts. If there was only one brand available for any given type of car it would be pretty boring.

I feel when it comes to the EVO though there isn't another company out there busting their asses on a day to day basis doing development work and putting information out there for all you guys to read and compare like we do. I'd like to think that should be worth something and I guess from looking at this years sales it actually is.

I find it to be a slap in the face when we can win a HP shootout with our exhaust, make it out of the best materials, build it lighter than anyone else's and offer it at a price that is atleast right with the others and cheaper than 90% of them that people will still insist on "X" brand exhaust.

Doesn't make sense.

Well guys, looks like the difference between the Helix and our system was based on price, even with ours being lighter and higher flowing. With our price matching the shipped price of $748 offered from Gruppe-S on the Helix our phones are nuts.

Thanks everyone!

no offense Mr. Buschur but I HATE the slip-fit design and Think the system Is ugly as all Hell , this is why I decided to go Helix. not because yours was higher priced, i did alot of research and asked alot of opinions and came to the conclusion that Helix would better suit me

The slip fit design is only used on the muffler and front of the catback now. The downpipes are flanged and so are the offroad pipes and highflow cats.

The back of the system is all you can see when it is installed in car, the tip for that matter. It is a polished 4" rolled edge tip. Buying a polished exhaust system has never made any sense to me what-so-ever, it is under the car and will soon be covered in grime, salt and just general crap.

If having a heavier less horsepower producing exhaust under you car is what suits you then by all means that should be what you buy. I honestly hope you love the system as you spent your hard earned money on it and should.

Just take it as the way it is. Parts from over-seas are just better in quality and have better profit margin.

And I know for the fact that these robotic tig-welds on the Helix products are not done by childrens over seas. What you said is simply ignorant. Whether intentionally or not.


Perhaps you should start traveling and take a look at the factories that are subcontracting big name products in over-seas before saying something stupid.

Your Evo deserves a 9 pound Greddy Titanium exhaust Dont settle for anything heavier Its a bit short so I am putting on a adapter soon to make it longer.

notice the 'eye-wink' icon in that statement? ...fyi - that implies he was joking. no-one here actually believes that Helix stuff is made by children, LOL.
