wow i had no idea! they make some pretty good products, don't know why they wouldn't be selling? last time i heard they were making a electronic dampening system ( like Tein EDFC), now i'm hearing their out of business!!!
I doubt helix is going anywhere - they are a reputable maker and have no problem pushing inventory. Gruppe-s told me they have more helix downpipes coming in mid to late october.
--edit--
Also no offense to the guy you quoted, but I would not take him as a serious legit information source for things like that, its best to find out by more official means.

-1 for a vendor trying to take business away with bad info.
Thats what I am thinking. I mentioned the V3 earlier in their forum looking for one and they said oh you mean the titek blablabla to me as well :/. He has 17 posts or so, so he hasn't been around long and probably doesn't have a reputation that could be backed etc. But then again thats just a guess so don't quote me :P

refer to this thread over on NASIOC, http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1085427. Hopefully SP Engineering can make it over here to I-Club soon. TiTek has a much better overall quality product than Helix and the price is very competitive. Gruppe-S may be having some problems internally but Helix is still holding on okay, though as you've heard their last few batches have had some major fitment issues. TiTek states a "GUARANTEED FITMENT POLICY" up front so I don't see those same problems happening, these will actually be fit tested to the max before opening up production and distributing them out to the customers.
