For those who have the helix ss. Do you notice pronounced road noise with that shield left off; or is it not a big deal and is the cabin still relatively quiet.

I have SS from Madness employing the same design as Helix. After disgarding the cable linkage cover, the raod noise is not noticeably louder; however, the exhaust note is more pronounce, especially during hard acceleration. To eliminate the problem, the cover can be remounted with some modification or consider Mini Mania's SS, which comes with a specially made cover. :smile:

I thought the 04 had a redesigned shifter and none of the current SS kits would work. Does Helix make an 04 SS kit?

Both Helix and Rogue/Madness already have 04 SS. Mania will soon introduce one for 04. :smile:
