Hey guys,

Sorry about not getting on this thread earlier.

Upon the completion of the Helix version 2 downpipes they were rushed over to us due to the immense backorder. THEY ARE NOT GENERIC DOWNPIPES. There is no reason for us to 'cheat' you guys. The badging of the downpipes would have taken another 2 weeks to complete the whole 40 downpipes in the batch. So we made the decision and took the initiative to get the downpipes to us in the least time possible. If any of you want to get the badge welded on, you are welcome to send it back and will badge them.

Any further questions give us a call 510 783 5300

thanks,

Daniel

Actually it's complicated. Almost correct - Gruppe-S owns shares of Helix. Other principals are actually Japanese guys involved in the Japanese auto industry. But yeah, we are the largest mover of Helix products, the market share in Japan is actually very small.

I know this is an old threat, but, does anyone here knows where this guy (salvatore profaci) is..?? or his whereabouts...?? I bought the Maxford header from him, and the day after I pay for it, he dessapeard.. I paid $170 for it and I don't want to think this was a scam...

Thanks,

Miguel
