the shiny part of the endlink is a wearing point.
the wear on the sway bar.. sorry for the bad pics, these pics were taken in Dark with my camera phone.. which is purdy good ill take some new ones today
basically i was forced due to the sound of clicking from the endlinks being wornout to go to the oem ones for now.. :thumbdown:

I too have had ALOT of issues with their products. I have had two downpipes from them and the fitment quality was garbage. I had to bring both down pipes to an exhaust shop for additional welding and cutting to make the downpipes work. Disappointment=Helix.

and the swivel joint on both of the endlinks have popped out multiple times, the little piece of metal that is suppose to hold it in broke off.. this is shown in the pics. and the wearing caused seerious noise issues..

I've had both front and rear helix links and have never had problems. I auto-x and everything.
Never had their downpipes but am happy that I have only used PDE ones especially after reading this thread.
