Hows the helix intercooler pipes? is it worth it getting it or should i spend the money on something else. Also, if i were to buy the hks BOV with the upper polished pipe after i installed the helix intercooler pipes, is it a direct swap with the helix upper intercooler pipe? any help will be appreciated, thanx

I dont think the HKS bov will fit the Helix UICP, unless it has a flange on it but it would be pointless to get the Helix pipe kit and have the HKS bov pipe kit? I dont think its worth spending close to 400 bucks just for the piping on a stock FMIC. Save up some money and get a bigger FMIC which comes with LICP. I think it depends on what your planning to do with your car in the future. You might end up spending more money if you buy wrong/unecessary parts now.

You can get the Helix intercooler pipes from Gruppe-s for $349 shipped and not $400 but I do agree with you about upgrading the intercooler. If you arev going to spend $400 for pipes you are more than half way in for a bigger intercooler(Turbo Xs have their for $599) check logicperformance.com, lancershop.com or evostore.com.

I am ordering a set of limited edition Helix(they are black on black with black couplings and black hardware), I am not planning on upgrading the intercooler anytime soon because I think the stock intercooler works very well with the stock turbo.

Hey guys,

The Helix ic pipings are def a great addition to your Evo however, don't expect major gain from the pipings but it will help you spool up faster and the boost will hit harder.

i have the helix kit..and the ssqv. i just took the stock bov piping(black stuff) and cut it(i know i know)to about 4in long..the helix has the flange welded onto it(on the bottom) for the stock bov, i just hooked up the ssqv there. I was thinking aobut getting it welded on..but decided not to my .02

The turbo XS IC comes with no pipings if I remember correctly. The only one that I know that come with the lower piping is the Greddy R and S-spec.

Also...I will give you guys a special pricing if you call me this week!!! I can't tell advistise it tho so you will have to call.

Thanks,

nope, but it is quite a monster..pretty big. i have the helix ic piping with the XS fmic, and with the combo had to mix and match the couplings. the helix comes with bent elbows couplings(made for stock i/c that the inlet and outlet are at an angle) and the xs fmic comes with striaght coupling(since the inlet and outlet on this i/c are straight) but its a blingin combo..too bad you dont see the lower i/c pipes. But im running without my bumper on anyway ha
