Helix CEL off just Bolt on Test pipe and O2 Senor.. simple install..
I heard Perrin is Split and wired... so HElix is way better

i think the helix unit and the anti foulers are pretty much the same thing...
the perrin does require some splicing but the install is fairly easy.. it also cost $40 more.. but its like a guarantee that u wont get CEL... and u wont have anything stick out from ur test pipe... and at least u dont need to jack up and crawl underneath ur car... just my .2

I have the UR TP for about 10k now, and no problems. My buddy has some generic TP and bought the HELIX cel fix and has about 8k on his w/ no light.
