I just installed the Helix exhaust. I really love it except for the fact that its not centered coming out of the back, its coming out too close to the left side. Anyone else have this problem? I tried adjusting it but nothing really helped, I guess I have the hangers moved?

Mine is pretty close to the left side also, I guess this is normal. The rod that you are talking about is actually a tool used to remove the silencer (if you ever put it in).

 

have you tried to angle it right first before tightening it?the helix on my sisters car was kinda like that but pretty much centered now,you can use the kartboy hangers also if you want to get stiffer hangers.

 

mines close 2 got a cd heatsheild though so doesnt effect me.... i think they will all come that way im sure u could do something with hangers under thier to fix it but u would need to heat them and bend or something...

 

Mine is the same way.

 

Well I guess Im going to have to just take it to a muffler shop and have it angled right. I noticed my bumper has already started to melt near the tip (inside), not noticeable but enough to make me mad . I guess thats tomorrows project.

 

i've installed one on vegasboy's evo,and it hugs the left side also

 

Mine lines up perfectly....

 

Mine is the same way so I guess it is normal .

 

Mine too. It looks good at the tip but it touches at the very inner edge and melted the bumper. It's not very visible so Idon't care.
Does your silencer goes in? Mine doesn't fit.

 

Yeah thats exactly what mine does.

I threw the silencer away

 

I had to bend a hanger and also had to use kartboy hangers to get it right.

mine also sat directly to the left and has melted the bumper problem is it looks off and irkes me to look at it

 

I really dont understand these forums. I researched exhaust systems for a while before I got one. I heard not ONE complaint about the Helix CATBACK. I did hear some complaints about rattling downpipes and such but that goes for other vendors as well. Anyway, not ONE mention of this was mentioned. If I knew it was going to sit like that, I wouldnt have gotten it. Its just one more thing I have to go do to make it looks like its SUPPOSE TO. I am quite unimpressed with Helix products thus far. The adapter plate for the Helix Intake didnt fit that well either. I should have stopped there! Now I know why you should stick with the $ names like Greddy and HKS, even BR!. Their products fit like a damn jimmy hat!

 

you can use an exhaust shield for the bumper
