Happy to report on this latest version, as I believe there's been a few, had no issues with the flange sizes or o2 sensors location & fitment.
Driven approx 200 miles since & no error codes
Installed myself & most of it went smoothly, luckily no rusted or seized bolts/nuts/sensors/connectors etc. However, it still took many hours due to the very tight access to the bolt on the clamp at the turbo as the engine mount/bracket is literally right under it!
Also, initially had a slight leak at the left exhaust connection, see pic, & found that removing the "Flange Steady Bracket" gave that additional slight clearance to seal properly! This issue is similar to what "Dan_Q" reported.
Thank you to everyone that helped & "Freelo" for the review & agree with the improved sound & performance! The smell also increased slightly but not unpleasant at all.
Regarding the performance, with MHD stage 1+ with upgraded FMIC & intake, the performance increase overall throughout the rev range was great.
But now going to MHD stage 2+ with the DP the gains are more mid to high end rev range & the car also now slides/loses traction more than before so definitely need a tyre upgrade next!
Will update after few more weeks of testing & if anything changes.

Congrats, the downpipe looks great
