Im not doubting Gruppe-S theyve been pretty solid, and I know the mishap with the exhausts was out of their hands, Im just anxious for a new one!!!

It doesn't fit.
you have to cut your bumper to fit. ( + hanger mod )

I ddidnt have to cut anything. Its just the muffler sat way too far left, way off center, most of the time burning up the left inside corner of the bumper

You don't have to cut your bumper. The catback will probably just melt it for you:

melted spot

I have a Helix catback with the same problem...in fact I have it using only the right hole for the muffler hanger so that it can sit somewhat in the center. It works but causes the midpipe to hit the underbody when the car goes over bumps. Can I still get in on this claim?

Yeah, Gruppe-S do it for all of us.
I just took off my helix catback and put back the stock catback ( I just got an exhaust too loud ticket ).
Let us know.

The one on my Evo doesnt have this problem. It sits a little to the right but not right beside the bumper.

Indeed, an update from G-S would be appreciated.
Thanks

I just put back my Helix on my car. Somehow, I made it fit really nice this time. I don't know why It fits so good now. May be my hangers got stretched? It still needed that losing 1 bolt mod. But, If I can make a small bridge between those 2 holes and bolt those on, It will be really soild and tight as the stock.
