Default Top Speed Pro-1 Ti Look Catback Exhaust System

Last weekend I installed TopSpeed's Ti Look Catback Exhaust System on my 2012. I ran into the usual snag with the fitment of the x-pipe to the stock cats, but I was able to overcome that without a tremendous amount of difficulty. I like the way the exhaust looks and sounds and let's be real, it's not a $2000 system, so I am not disappointed in the overall quality.
The first video is last weekend after the install. I installed the exhaust on Saturday, then removed it and re-installed on Sunday, this time using some high-temp red RTV on the flanges to seal a little better.
On Monday, I ran over a large dog (already dead) on the road and I knew I had done something to the car (cosmetically it is fine) but I did not have a chance to get under it until this morning. Turns out I had bent the large U-shaped brace under the car up into the exhaust. I was able to take it off and straighten it out then put it back on. There is also a very small dent in the driver's side tip but you can only see that from under the car. I think I was pretty lucky... It was a really big dog, at first I thought it was a deer, but a co-worker had also hit it and said it was a dog. So be it. After reinstalling the brace, the second video was shot.
