Sorry about all the confusion, we actually have it mislabled on our site.

Let see if I can sort this out...

Helix does not make any headers at the moment.

The headers listed on our site is the Gruppe-s Ver 2 header, not the same as a GT-Spec Header. Gruppe-s does offer jet coating services at an extra fee.


The headers did give a good amount of gain, more mid and top end. I've ran the prototype header and the prototype Helix uppipe, and it gave me very nice power.

here is a dyno chart (not my car)



Hope this clears up some confusion...

like I said, that is NOT the dyno chart from my car.

The lines is just comparing the run with the header and one without.

It's also not gaining HP, but more like unlocking the power that was there, but restricted by the cat. Each car response differently...
