    It also says something for the members of this site. Rather than screams and rants of "wheres my stuff" posts of humorous pics/gifs of anticipation were made.

    You're really better off just leaving the OEM plumbing.

    Chuck that thing looks so good it is a shame it will be hiding behind the bumper. Better to mount that on top of your hood. My VW beetle rally car wore it's oil cooler on the hood & boy did it look bad arse. :cool:

    No. And yes, but I would say ill informed rather than ignorant.

    Like any aftermarket parts some are good some not. It depended on who it making them.

    Helix makes very good parts.

    It looks beautiful! I'll bet it is even prettier in person.

    How does it compare, performance wise, to the Helix first generation step core intercooler?

    This is a great price. People should be all over this offer.

    For those that don't keep up on these things, used Helix inter coolers heave been selling for a little more than this intro price.

    HMMMMMMM..... Color me interested....:D

    Eric...
    Does this work with all R56's including the change in the bumper carrier? Or will modifications be required to fit properly?
