downpipe have nothing to do with uppipe..
they dont connect together..
they just connect to the turbo..
any downpipe works with any uppipe.

u just need a catted uppipe to filter out some stink and fix that fat leak you have..

Make sure the Helix Dp will mate with the stock cat-back or after market exhaust if you have one.

I think all cat-backs, stock or aftermarket, mates up perfect with the helix dp, expect for jdm exhausts.

is your cat back exhaust a flat or donut sleeve? flat will have a tiny leak on the top. you will need a second gasket to seal it up. that's what i did with my JIC. donut sleeve will mate with no problems. the downpipe doesn't connect to the uppipe, it connects to your turbine. you will need to shave your heat shield a bit b/c it's a huge 4" bellmouth.
ps. call me foo about the helix!

got it installed today, made my exhaust a little louder
it's weird because no cat means it should be louder but its the opposite with the helix

it's louder because of the 4" bellmouth design and wastegate flutter is very pronounced with the td04
you can try the wastegate arm fix...
