Will a helix DP fit onto a Skunk2 exhaust

I'm not really sure if this will fit correctly. But the Helix DP has a bellmouth and I'm not too sure about the fitment of the skunk2 exhaust. All I know is that it'sa 3" exhaust. Here's the link to my exhaust

The bellmouth on the DP has absolutely nothing to do with how the catback bolts up. The Helix is a full 3" and if the Skunk2 is a full 3" also then they will bolt up.

If Picture = 1000 words.

lol.. or what about the need for a smaller nut on the bottom of the bellmouth cause the OEM nut doesn't fit due to the bellmouth turning down to soon...

I wanted the Crucial divorced wastegate downpipe so I sold my v1 helix. I'm not arguing that there aren't poor fitting helix pipes, I'm saying not all are poor fitting. Isn't real world experience better than a picture or two? My experience was that my pipe fit with no issues. If you prefer pictures I can get 3 of the helix on my buddy's car, that'll cancel out your pictures and then give us 1000 words in favor of helix.

Ok, so I finally got my CBE and I found that it didn't come with any of the extra parts like the gaskets. Does anyone know what I exactly need to buy for my CBE besides tools? And are most of the CBE stuff and DP parts available at common auto shops?

usually they do not

the flange they use is oddball a 3 inch two hole so finding the gasket can be hard at times


youll need regular bolts for the DP to CBE
