Milltek, Helix Short Shift and rear sway bar

I'm back from another trip to Helix.... a good experience as always! Here are my initial observations.

Milltek Cat-back. This may be the perfect exhaust. Eric at Helix recommended it when I had my pulley done and I'm glad he did. I ordered one a few weeks ago, so mine was ordered ahead of the group buy. The Milltek has near perfect sound, louder but not too loud, throatier, better burble and nearly as quiet in cruise. I LOVE IT!

Helix Short Shift. All I can say is that I'm amazed that Mini's don't come this way from the factory. For a low-priced mod, it's one you'll really enjoy having.

H-Sport Competition sway bar. I have mine set on the softest setting. There is no change in feel during regular driving, but when you get frisky in a corner it makes a night and day difference. Again, fully recommended!

Many thanks to Eric at Helix for his excellent work and valuable advice!

Richard

the Helix SSK is great - simple, low cost item that makes a huge difference.

Raw,

You're gonna love it! The Milltek is awesome and so is the SSK.... I went with the 15% and GIAC instead of the 19% just to be conservative.

Keep us posted,
