I haven't tested this one so I don't know...but considering that this one is performing on par with the other ones, I'd imagine that its probably comparable to the Helix, considering they've changed the plumbing, as well.

The point is that for 90% of the people on this board, the 5hp they're going to gain by going with better piping isn't really necessary for them.

You have to separate yourself from the "I need every hp I can get" mentality and realize that the product itself is a long-awaited solution for those who want a stepped-core intercooler that performs on par with the rest of the aftermarket ones out there, and still retains the stock couplers. That alone is worth it to a lot of people here.
