I run it and fitment was perfect. It also comes with Worth studs which are supposedly indestructible but one of them needs to be flipped or it will sometimes keep the DP from going all the way back on.
Anyway, I guess it's a moot point.

I've got both an aftermarket turbo, and headers. The chance that they're both in stock-enough locations for a non-flex pipe to line up just right is pretty slim... hell it takes some careful torqueing just to get the *flex* pipe to match to the headers.
Having had a solid pipe in the past, and had a ton of leak issues (to the point where I went through like 9 different gaskets and eventually had Vishnu replace my pipe w/ a flex version), I'm going to just stay w/ a flex unit.
Edit: Yeah, what Nick said.
