I hope everyone has fun this week. I sent some goodies to Helix today so a few guys are getting some cool new toys along with their tunes .

Helix is in Florida right?

Rest up you have 30+ tunes to complete. Your eyes should be bleeding by the end of the week.

I'll try to make it out but I'm already in the doghouse and I won't be leaving early like I had planned tomorrow. Gonna be a late night and I'll probably be sleeping on the couch

not sure. it's probably going back to CA unless someone wants to buy it at Helix (I'm sure that will make Jan happy). Keep in mind, it' not a bolt-on to a stock header

it designed to work with the RMW, but any capable shop could add on a few inches of tubing and a flange to mate with your stock or aftermarket header. The RMW header doesn't use the stock position for mating to the catback.
