There was definitely a clearance issue with the top sensor.
Do you have any pictures to share? Not doubting you one bit, but a visual would help explain and help others understand as well.
What I noticed is the OEM pipe has tabs that secure it firmly to the chassis. The VRSF pipe does not have those tabs/brackets so it just "floats" between the turbo and cat back. This might be ok for now, but over time it may cause stress on the turbo. I would feel more comfortable using a pipe with factory mounting points.
Mine just didn't fit at all, so I had to to chop exhaust hanger and relocate it to make it fit. "pissed me off"

I would advice you to take your time and get best DP you can find. The clamp is only holding mine!! When I get a chance to crawl under the car, I will take some phots.
