Helix High-Flow Cat? Where to buy?

So, I can't seem to find a vendor that carries the Helix High-Flow Cat. I've seen some vendors that have them, but it appears no one has them in stock, or they're on back-order.

Any suggestions on where to look for this? I have tried looking in the for sale forums, but no luck. I have a Helix Turboback, I quess I'll take suggestions for high-flow cats that'll fit my exhaust.

(I have seen it for sale on Vivid's site, but it's damn expensive in my opinion)

Thanks

Yea, I pm'ed Gruppe-S about the cat if they still carried them and he told me that they no longer do. The only reasonably priced vendor that I found was http://www.optionimports.com/ , but I have never personally delt with them. Maybe someone else on this board can chime in about them.

Anyways, best place to find them though is here used in the for sale section. There always seems to be people changing around to test pipes or back to stock so you can pick one up by just waiting around a little bit.

Good luck
