I have the Helix, but the IAT suppression characteristics are the same with COBB's FMIC.

Regarding the Helix comments, Helix has the same stepped core with a better end tank design (slightly less pressure drop), and also has aerodynamic "bars" in between the charge air rows to better direct air into the core. This probably doesn't make a huge difference on stock turbos, but lower pressure drop is always wanted.

Helix > Wagner > Cobb looking at end tanks
Wagner better than Cobb?
