FedEx has been taking their sweet time 
It should be here tomorrow, and hopefully I'll be able to get it on Wednesday afternoon. I'll post pictures of it once it arrives though.

So I got the DP and got it on (pictures to come tomorrow) and fitment seems to be about on par with other aftermarket DP's I've seen. However, the welds look like good quality and the flanges are nice and thick 
The kit came with the following:

I had a stage 2 protune done when I had a helix DP but the car was an automatic, so it was a conservative tune. Once I get the coated headers I'll be getting retuned but the car is also now a manual, so the tunes wont be comparable.

I might pick up another helix flex UP and send it to them to get coated and get the coated headers, and then I'll be back Ed.The one thing that is bothering me is that it sounds like its knocking on the tranny crossmember or something, but that may be because my j-hook looked a little bent

Thanks for the input Ed. Its happening when going over bumpy roads. If I have time before work I'm going to crawl back under and take a look at everything, otherwise I'll see what LIC can do when the install the possible UP and the headers.
