thats my clip, it's actually no longer avaiable last time I checked. Mine was the last prototype version. Sounds very exotic in real life.

Suprisingly enough he doesn't scrape. He does scrape the front bumper on your average road cause the car is so low. Haha, any better with the larger rims bro?

According to some master distributers for Helix, it was never released....for whatever reason.

on a lighter note, I just talked to to guys from Agency power, apparently their exhaust + midpipe combo will be available early july.

He also said it was 3" all the way through

mike is right, I have no problems scraping the exhaust on any occasion. But my front is a different story. Haha funny thing is there is no difference with the rims haha. Did all that for nothing, rolling diameter is the same I guess that's why. O wells.

You guys can try all those links above listed from abbid, i've tried all of those prior to getting this exhaust from ex rx8 owner, they're all going to say the same thing, it's not available. The exhaust had fitment issues in the beginning, and the distributor gave up. You can contact helix main distributor directly and that was the information I received. It sucks though, great exhaust, revs with ease when I blip the throttle, and sounds great.

I think it took Jason MONTHS to get his. I seriously doubt you'll be able to get your hands on one.

the last model that i have don't have oval tips its round straight cut. Yeah, like mike said I tried months getting my hands on these, I called the distributors for helix with no luck, but to offer me a greddy instead. I pretty much bought the ms exhaust and had to back out because some gave me this one for a sweet deal. Doesn't hurt to ask, but when I did they kept saying maybe in two months, and a year later I called again and they said they don't make them period.

Kwik: fitment was the issue, that's why it never made into production, even the last prototype which was mine was off but the previous owner fixed it by taking it to a exhaust shop.
