no actaully i think you have to cut away at the turbo heat sheild becasue the dp wont fit, at least they had to cut mine a little.

Check to see if the O2 sensor is on tight. I got a cell about 2 weeks after I did the install. I come to find out that the O2 sensor was loose. Retighten it and no cel yet in the past month or so.

For the most part Helix downpipes are sold with free gaskets and CEL fixes (be sure to mention model year when ordering) from all but a few vendors carrying the Helix line.

The Borla Hush can be made to mate up to the Helix without modification if you reverse the doughnut gasket, we do not recommend this or does and prefer to weld the flange to flush fit with the Helix.

When installing the Helix downpipe you do need to cut the turbo heat shield slightly.

If you have a CEL check that the CEL fix sent out was for the correct model year 02/03 or 04 and then check that the contacts are good.

My freekin CEL

After the Dp and Up I got a CEL, checked it at AutoZone... P1131.

Which is a short in the front O2 if I'm correct???

Nice eh? It was a Bi%# to get out so I'm guessing I busted it.
