Ya but is it install and how do you feel about the install. I have also heard the forge one looks like it was 3 different off the shelf pieces welded together while the Helix is cleaner and more professional looking

Trust me buy the Forge.Of all the intercoolers on the market the forge is the highest quality unit offered for the r56.I bought mine for 600, the very easy install took maybe 1 hour including a few smokes and a beer .

The helix and alta intercoolers look like bar and plate with cast endtanks made in china stuff.

Dude with the way the economy is you can buy almost anything for huge discounts.

I would go with riss exhaust because you can tune it to your taste.If you want the Best money no object buy a Meisterschaft titanium .

If you want cheap go to a local shop and have a system built or buy the obx made by a sweatshop in china.

I have the Exhaust Depot DP and the Milltek exhaust. It is a very good combination with great sound and HP (seat of the pants). The sound is a very deep turbo sound that doesn't drone on the highway. I really enjoy it. No CELs with the ED downpipe.

Did you get the Milltek from them or did you have to buy it from somewhere else?

Sorry it took me so long to respond but I am in Afghanistan and getting on the net can be tricky.

I bought the exhaust from a member on NAM. I really like it. It sounds good and the tips look really good.

I think tht I might be doing the same cause I like the tips a lot better. Getting the Milltek with Exhaust Depot catless DP. I will probably be getting in the next 2 or 3 months. Along with a new intercooler.
