I installed a Helix last summer and loved it. Just make sure to use loctite on the pinch set screws to avoid having to do the labor twice. I did the install while I was replacing my header so I was not duplicating my labor.

+1 on the Helix. A DIY install is not too bad but you do have to drop the exhaust and deal with a lot of bolts and fasteners.
