All I want to know is if the Helix IC pipes are the same size as all the other pipes being sold, like RMR, Buschur, Greddy, etc. I dont want Helix if they are smaller. Im looking to increase power not restrict it ya know!

 

Yes, they are the same size as all the other 2.5" intercooler pipes on the market. Now buy it!

 

Do you feel any difference in power by just swapping the pipes? If you already post the question then I apologize cause I have bad memories

 

enough said

 

Throttle response is better as well as a little better power. Maybe a few hp (<5)gain. The stock IC pipes are pretty good already. I just wanted to get rid of all the rubber sections.

 

it looks nice 2 heheh i kept blowing my IC pipes off just running like 21Psi so i got this kit and t-bolts and its Money!!!! i love it

 

not always true, when I had my talon tsi awd I had 2.5" piping all the way around and it was 2.5 inside diameter. the guage of the piping is so thin that its not making up that other 1/4 of an inch. if you mearsure it with the beaded end then maybe it will be 2.5" but other then that its def not 2.5" outside diameter either, or at least my kit isnt. to further prove this look at the injen upper pipe. it ha a 90 degree silicon connector that barely necks down versus the connector for the helix kit which is a dramatic reduction in size. I sell helix parts and love them, its just that i want 2.5" piping, not 2.25. I plan on upgrading the turbo and I dont want to buy piping twice. i h ave the buschur fmic coming in next week so i'll measure that and post updates. I also plan on putting a bigger tb and possibly intake manifold also and if I do that i want the diameters of the piping to match the TB. the TB i want is 65mm and thats 2.56 inches. stock tb is about 59mm which is about 2.32 so if you dont plan on changing the tb from stock then this piping is perfect for you

 

Okay, I stand corrected. I just went and measured my upper intercooler pipe with caliper and it's 60mm or 2 3/8" outside diameter.

 

Well 60mm is inbetween 2 1/4 and 2.5 so thats cool for me.

My Helix IC piping kit will be here Saturday along with MR BOV via Gruppe-S!
I cant wait to put it on!

 

What is the Helix website address? I can't find it for the life of me.

 

www.helix-power.com

 

yea like he said the outside diameter is 60mm making the inside around 55-56 so its 2.25" on the inside

 

Damn I need these bad!!! Hmmm now trying to figure out how to pay for them lol The prices are bouncing around and I actually know someone who just got the polished set for $340 shipped. Any of you selling them for that cheap?
