In some real world circumstances or on a dyno you may very well be right, good for you. I also applaud you for being innovative vs. imitative.

But unless I'm missing something or it's a joke, according to their site this is what? 790 euros or around $1100? With shipping this would be one of the most expensive options out there. Soooo......I'm not sure what your point is other than to poo on any option anyone suggests that isn't what you did or to suggest anything, even something like this so people don't buy from supporting venders? Ok, we get it....or maybe we don't get it???
lol..
Do I have to remind you that not everyone on this forum lives in the U.S?
This could be a great choice for the europeens who are planning to order a Helix IC.

I love my $250 IC, and I know how well it performs. And I would NEVER pay $1000 for an IC.
Thank god we are all different.

I know most of you guys in here are from the US but I wish some of those high end manufacturers had European business partners.

Considering shipping costs, customs and local sales tax, a Helix FMIC (as nice as it is) would be extremely expensive to buy and have shipped to Europe. The Wagner FMIC does looks really nice (great find ) , I may very well choose that when I upgrade my FMIC in the spring. For me it is less than shipping, customs and tax alone would be on the Helix

+1. I REALLY like that intercooler ! Looks incredibly good, and not as tall as to make me nervous about blocking the radiator. And anodizing is included in the price (I hope). Thanks for the option...I was thinking about the ETS at $650 but if I factor in the shipping and taxes to EU they might arrive at the same price in the end...
