No it's not Gruppe-S and those are not Helix! Helix uses OEM style gaskets not the ones pictured on the pipe.

They are some crappy knock off's, we have some at the shop as people have brought them as Helix and when they don't fit (short by nearly a inch) they try and warranty replace them and are told to do so to the US Helix Distributors (Either Gruppe-S or SP) so we have been getting a few lately.

I have the fake helix, seems to work OK, but never had a real helix to compare it with. =)

come by .... next time? I don't think we have met.
The only white wagon I have seen recently was at MPJ a couple weeks ago, kind of a short stalky/chubby asian guy. The car was slammed (ueb0r low!) with a cannon ball shooting muffler.

EDIT: I thought your nick was something with a wagon, my bad. ;P

i'm not sure if we have met or not.... let me say this again ... if you come by gruppe-s ... we can show you the difference between a real one and a fake one... and that white wagon that you saw is pete ... and i have a white sedan ... which is probably lower then pete's wagon ...
