no, it doesn't fit
it will touch the transfer case.
Most of down pipes don't fit 05 evo. and I haven't seen any downpipe fit perfect on 05 evo yet.

How do you know? Do you own one and did you have it installed on an 05? Most of the threads that I read said that the Helix will not fit on an 05. They also said that some have made it fit by using special Karboy clamps to pull it to one side.

Othere have mentioned that Helix is making a DP specifically for the 05, though I have not read anymore threads on that. Did they make one?

The Downpipes that I know fit are the DC sports, the Works, and the Espelir. There are others, but I do not remember off the top of my head.

I am certain that the Helix dp designed for the 03-04 had fitment issues on the 05.

I was told the helix downpipe that I bought off of ebay would fit 2005's without issue, but the same day I ordered it I decided a few days was too long to wait so I went and bought an AMS exhaust. It fit perfectly, and even got compliments from the local exhaust shop that I had weld a bung on it for me.

The DC Sports DP fits perfectly.

I've got a Helix V2 or V3..not sure which one on my 05. It fits fine. It rattles just a bit when not giving enough gas and engaging the clutch in 1st gear...not a huge deal.
