Helix FMIC Install Review
Just wanted to commend Helix on their FMIC. Following the install instructions contained in the video on their website, it took me 1 hr and 45 mins from start to finish. Fit and finish is superb and I am thoroughly impressed and satisfied with my purchase.

Agreed; my install took under 1.5hrs with the car on the floor.

Install was pretty straight forward. You can definitely do it with the car on the ground and stock suspension. Just tighten those hoses well.

I'm about to install mine Helix along with a NM catback. Looking forward to the consistant new found power.
