I have to admit, you had major knocking from those endlinks and they drove me a little crazy. LoL But I haven't had problems with the helix downpipe. Works like a charm for me

thats exactly what happened, i would start to move my cr and it would make noise lol... i got fed up with it so i decided to install my stock ones.
the stockers are ok.. alot more body roll with the stock ones, but less noise!

i had helix endlinks, they were loud because its metal bearing. whiteline has plastic bearing that is why it has no noise. as for hitting metal against metal i didnt have problem with that.
as for helix DP i think its GREAT, i love my DP, and i love the helix catback. i think its the best one i ever had. (not look wise) sound wise and it has a stright pipe unlike the hks hi-power a huge resonator.
as for helix DNA coilovers are kinda ****ty. way too stiff, and that was horrible.
thats my review for the brand helix.

wrong.
Helix is still around.
Gruppe-S is the parent company of Helix. Now Gruppe-S and Dynamic Autosport (in SoCal) merged, Helix is now part of the Dynamic Autosport. Gruppe-S is an online store for Dynamic Autosport.
Titek USA has nothing to do with Helix. Titek does not offer or manufacture any wrx suspension or exhaust components for Helix.

my helix rear endlinks has lasted many many years through hard driving, no problems whatsoever still holding strong. great mod for the price in my case. as for the helix swaybar, i switched to whiteline 27mm. i went up in stiffness, and meanwhile i noticed how thin the helix swaybar was compared to the bulky whiteline.

+2..Helix and Titek are different companies....
Also I LOVED the quality of the Helix Products..I had the Up-pipe, downpipe and Exhaust Combo...on my 2002 WRX
And now when I get my STI, Im going back to them....

i never had any problems with my helix products.
i had helix, sway bar/ endlinks/ UP/ DP all with at least 30+K miles on my old wrx.
if those parts werent involved in my accident, they would be on my sti.

the only part helix left on my car is the up pipe, and as soon as i get some headers, that thing is coming off and being replaced with non crappy ****..

if u ask me, Helix is just rebranded as Titek. I may be wrong though, but their exhaust products (dp, up) look exactly the same. I also heard Helix got into some legal trouble, which is why it's rebranded as Titek.
Like I said, I could be wrong.
