So , after 3 months of waiting, I got my helix downpipe (Gruppe-s).
It was supposed to be a v2 and they sent me a v3.

Well, I installed it and it is a problem. There is only about 1/4 in of clearance between the dp and the transmission corssmember. This causes very unhappy rattles at idle and when in reverse. I will try to fabricate a differet bracket at my work (solid works, mill, lathe, wellsaw, should be able to do it!). But just so everyone knows this is a problem.
