They are about $100 now off ebay with shipping, I think.

1 low mx6, not sure if the stock donut gasket goes on or not. Our downpipe doesn't use the stock donut so it wasn't a concern for us. It does come with new gaskets though.

So this means it has a better chance of not cracking since it also doenst have the support bracket like the stock one?

If you use an o2 housing that has no support bracket AND a downpipe that doesn't use a donut gasket AND has no flex section, you're just asking for a cracked o2 housing.

I re-used the stock donut gasket on the Ebay 02. It fit snug!

The opening on the donut gasket was of equal or larger inner diameter as the inner diameter of the o2 housing opening?

It fit just about the same as on the stock 02 housing. The EBay 02 housing has a bigger outlet because the walls of the outlet are much thinner than that of stock.

You should be OK. I am also using the Helix DP, I did however use the stock donut gasket. My exhaust system doesnt flex AT ALL the way it sits right now. Keep in mind, the factory downpipe does not have a flex section. The spring loaded bolts provide ample vibrational dampening.

Yeah, downpipes that use the stock donut gasket and spring bolts don't need a flex section since that's what allows exhaust movement when you go over bumps.

No updates. I am waiting for the ebay ones to come in to have them ceramic coated and we have not had a chance to port/test ours again.

David, any chance of you testing your ported O2 housing soon? I'm very curious if the extra porting you were thinking of doing will give similiar results to the ebay housing.

We haven't take the time to port another stock housing yet. It's crazy busy here. We'll get to it eventually.
