HELIX...I just put one in and it's great. Plus, if you look over at the reviews section, almost everyone agrees...

its a pipe a bend and two flanges

some have a flex others dont.

the only other thing is what material its made of. the header is made of one and if you get another material they will expand at different rates and sometimes if the install isnt perfect tehy will leak

I heard all are the same..
but Inconel 625 Uppipe Cobb one just because of what it's made of.

heard that it retains heat better and allows for better flow.

but this is just what I have heard.
I have the 304SS Cobb one

I went from the helix to the bosal (STi) because I wanted it to appear stock. I have no complaints about either.

Except for the install.
