Mine is at HPC getting coated, along with my downpipe, manifold, and heat shields. I will post pics of everything once I get it all back.

I got mine on tueday and I'm working on making it fit the helix down pipe at work I will take a picture of it finished tomorrow. I would sugest trying another downpipe unless you have the tools to hone out the helix and also make a new gasket. It wont bolt up unless you do those modifications.

We can do 5% off if you get the O2 housing and the DP together.

ok this might be a stupid question. I have helix dp in my 05 and I see that your works dp is similar design in term where the o2 housing meets it's about 2.75 in. So this o2 housing is truely 3" than the downpipe shouldn't neck down to 2.75??? or is rest of o2 3" except on the opening.

Flange location, etc.. are all the same, it's just the inlet to the DP that's the issue at hand. The outlet of the WORKS housing is 3" and our 3" DP actually flares to about 3 1/2" at the inlet to accept the larger donut gasket. We've looked at about 10 other pipes and none are able to make a proper seal with the new gasket size.

Nothing official yet. Most of our customers have gone with multiple changes at the time of installation. So, it would be unfair to give before/after numbers based on that. Being that we're almost sold out of the first batch, it look like we'll have to wait for the next.

Yeah, I'm installing mine at the same time as my White Rabbit. If it was super-easy to swap I'd do a before and after for you guys, but it just isn't. Sorry everybody.

Well, I can tell you it works well with the White Rabbit. What I can't tell you is how much the 02 housing helped hp-wise.

It seems like that is the issue or concerns. If someone were to have the full works tbe, how much would this housing add horsepower-wise? The works tbe is of great quality, quiet, and no bottlenecks that I'm aware of. Most of my friends and myself included wonder if it's worth another ~$400 for this piece.

It all depends on what your goals are.
- If you plan on buying a turbo kit in the future, skip it.
- If you are only going to do the basic bolt-ons and an S-AFC, skip it.

BUT
- If you want the absolute earliest possible spool-up, buy it.
- If you want every single last drop of power out of the stock turbo, buy it.
- If you are goung to run alcohol/water/meth injection and run 25-27psi, buy it.
- If you plan on installing a TME or WR, buy it.

This thing is just too hard to install for the average guy to do a before and after dyno run with this being the only part that changes.
- And even if they did, it would partially be dependent on the skill of the tuner reprogramming the EMS after the mod.
- And how well was it tuned before the mod?

We're probably gonna have to wait for Works to dyno it themselves, and then if it works really well and makes like 10-12hp, no one will believe them.

It's a tough spot to be in.
