Who has the Helix Up/Dn/Cat-Back combo? You like?
I see that a few vendors have a Helix uppipe, downpipe, and cat-back combo. It seems like a good deal for about $850. Can anyone tell me about this setup? How do you like it? More importantly, is it too loud? I watched the vid on Suby Dude's site, and I thought it sounded awsome, but how is it on a day to day basis (can you even hear your radio)?

I've got Helix up and down with the original Borla cat-back (not Hush). I love the setup. Now I'm just waiting for my AccessPort.

How did you get the Fujitsubo to mate up to a Helix DP? I'm assuming your using a regular Helix USDM DP?

I'm thinking about getting the Legalis Super R, but I thought you had to mate it up to a JDM-Spec downpipe.

I had the fujitsubo modified, I had to have the pipe shortened by about an inch and a half where it connects to the DP.

The Borla Hush needs a small modification in order to properly match w/ the Helix downpipe. Post a question to Gino or Mike at the GBMotorsports/MPJPerformance forum to further clarify what needs to be done. It requires some welding but can be done at GB/MPJ w/ no problems.
