Anyone have the TSP 3.5" catback on their car?

I had no idea this exhaust even existed until earlier today I ran across it looking to see what all types of catbacks were out there. This looks promising because a single 3" exhaust is just not enough pipe for one of these cars especially once you start modding the engine.
I like it very much. Its on my wish list

I thought it was the same muffler... just larger inlet. And the 3.5" cutout. So it should sound pretty similar.
This is a great setup for a sleeper/daily driver turbo car. Cap the exhaust and run it through the muffler for a pretty tame sound. Pop the cutout and bam. Of course, it may be too far back for it to work... may want the cutout near the motor. But for the price, it's a good mass-market exhaust.

I am still wondering about TSP's 3.5" catback. Has anyone used this yet that wouldn't mind reviewing their experience or sharing pictures? Curious as to fitment and clearance, sound, and power level at which this is overkill and also becomes necessary. I would've thought with all the hype around less restriction and squeezing extra hp out, that this system would have taken off by now.

Its halfway on my car now lol. I just havent felt like working on the car. Its been too cold. I will try and finish it up this weekend. It doesnt fit the car right in the back can already tell. That part I have already got hanging from the hangers. The whole rear section is offset to the driver side and the pipe is up against the frame.

Anyone else?

The rear section is off by a good inch. The OEM passenger side hanger is solid mounted to the car so you cant get any side to side adjustment out of it. Im probably going to have to make a whole new bracket off of the over axle pipe to make it work. The fit is pretty bad.

Its not a bolt on system. Its a 3.5" intermediate pipe so you have to mod your y pipe to slip fit into the 3.5" pipe.

My 3" fit fine once I replaced the over the axle hanger and added hooks to the tail pipes to pick up the stock hanger location there. I plan to do new headers sometime soon and then I want to have it tucked better by a shop but otherwise no issues for me.

So what I'm getting from this is the neither 3" or the 3.5" setup is a true direct bolt on like other setups for our cars. This is unfortunate since the idea behind it is really great. Most people simply won't want a system that needs to be tweaked or modified to fit when there are other options that bolt directly in
