It should mate up. Just have GB performance do it in Hayward. They'll make it fit for sure if anything. Talk to Gino.

I don't believe that DP uses the stock "donut" gasket, so I'm going to vote no.

It will fit. I know because I had it on my car. However, the helix's tend to have leaks at the DP/CBE no matter what

I have the Helix catted DP & the stock cat back. I installed it and fits perfectly with no leaks. You use the gaskets & bolts supplied with the DP. No problems in 10K miles since I installed it. If it leaks, you did something wrong.

be careful before you decide to install the downpipe. you might get boost creep, and if that happens your screwed. I was fortunate to have an accessport with my titek downpipe and sure enough my car boost creeped, then loaded stage2 map and it runs awesome now.

Will the Turbo XS 4" DP hit the a/c drain tube? Did you reuse the heatsheild? Did it bolt right up to the stock muffler? Is there any way you could post some pics? All or any more info would be awesome..Thanks
