Hi,

To answer your question, Helix is a small Japanese company with only a few partners. The partners, are extremely talented and work as lead engineers (and I believe a logistics manager) at well-known Japanese car companies.

The major components themselves are manufactured in Japan (such as muffler cannister or downpipe heads), but many of the sub components are manufactured throughout asia in the same factories that the major Japanese tuner companies (and auto makers) use. Some other products, like the Helix endlinks, we actually supply the spherical bearings to Helix from a very high quality manufacturer here in the United States!

This is the real reason why Helix products are of such quality yet at such discounted prices - because the owners of Helix have the knowledgebase and connections to employ the same manufacturing techniques as the car-makers but at a much lower volume.

As for the website, you have my apologies for that, we are in charge of Helix website design. I will try to get it fixed asap.

Cheers,

Gary

Helix is quality stuff for sure. Very first mod I made was the cat-back and I'm very satisfied with it. It was a perfect fit, good price, and it has a nice deep growl to it rather then the raspy note you'd expect from an I-4. Planning on the outlet, DP and cat delete before too long
