My first downpipe rubbed on the Oil pan, but i didnt install the DP on my own, only the resonator and catback, so the shop pulled another one off the shelf and put it on for me. Its not missing any hangers. But i think its something to do with the downpipe. When the stock cat was off the exhaust hung perfectly, but when either the cat or the test pipe was connected it hung crooked in the same way. I dont really care, other than that it melted a bit of my bumper in the back. ( wayyyyyy out of sight)

i think if they made the test pipe about an inch longer it would be perfect....when i put on my test pipe i had my down pipe and catback already bolted up....and i had about an inch gap i had to pull it together really hard just to get the first threads on the bolts.....

Yeah, thats about the jist of it. I think i may get a custom test pipe made in the future. If i ever get a JDM evo rear bumper so it dosent get melted around the back

I have the BR TBE and it fits great and it clears the rear bumper, which is nice. The only problem I have with it is the fact that the downpipe doesnt use the donut gasket and leaks a bit. Pretty easy fix though.

Yeah, my friend has the BR exhaust. I just didnt like the slip lock system it uses, Other than that it is a nice system, and the slip lock makes it lighter than the megan exhaust. I think the bullet muffler they have is ugly though.
