I'll be installing my Helix 3" downpipe, along with my hks catback, but I never looked into if the Helix downpipe works with the stock tie bars, I just read the instructions Helix sent with the downpipe, and it says remove the factory lower arm bars, but it doesn't say anythng about putting them back on, any info would be great, thanks guys.

 

just as a reference call helix and ask they might have the right way to do it.

 

Take the tie bars off to install the DP. Put them back on afterwards, and the DP does clear the tiebars

 

but will rattle like a ***** regardless, I have had mine on for quite some time but the rattle seems to be getting worse.

kind wish I woulda waited and went somewhere else

downpipe rattles , exhaust sits crooked, etc. but power is really really good!

 

well i dunno, my exhaust sits nicely, but it does rattle from time to time. It may be necessary to make several adjustments to better the fitment. but it will clear the tie bars without washers and it will rattle sometimes, gotta deal with it

 

YAH just gotta deal with it, I mean we only paid 800 or so dollars for the turboback.
I mean if we wanted great fitment and quality we shoulda paid 1400 plus!

this is all sarcastic, 800 bucks is alot of money for some ****** 3inch pipes that rattle and burn bumpers

 

guys search around a bit thier are ways to make it not rattle mine rattled like a mother for about 3 days untill i took the time to make it perfect no modding the pipe like bending it etc... lol
