I will try to fabricate a differet bracket at my work (solid works, mill, lathe, wellsaw, should be able to do it!). But just so everyone knows this is a problem.
Call them and tell them they F'ed up, but some Kartboy Hangman hangers will probably solve the issue and if they would send you a set you would be very grateful. Of course, Gruppe-S has been known to let their customers flail about under the bus over trivial amounts of money, but you could get lucky.

What is the location of the cat in that downpipe? If it's up close to the turbo, you will probably have issues.
