Just to clarify:
I didn't use any hardware or gaskets that came with the pipe.
I did use the (included) support bracket.
The gen3 EGT sensor probe is TOO LONG to fit. You don't need it anyway. Disconnected it with no problems.
You SHOULD NOT have to remove the AC compressor. I did pull the front engine mount off. I used every conceivable combination of extensions and different depth sockets. I should have written down the trick for each specific bolt.
After 3k miles the pipe is still working like a champ. No complaints. Others have valid complaints. I won't say that SSAC is a great customer service organization, or that their product is real consistent. That said, I would still repurchase.
