I have the WMS SS kit, which is the Craven relabeled. The front resontator on the Magnaflow may interfer with the bottom of the shifter when it is set at its lowest position. I def had rubbing between the exhaust channel heatshield and the shifter when I installed it. What I eneded up doing was bending this down, away from the shifter from inside the cabin. This allowed it to clear the shield and not rattle against it at idle. I have been running this setup for over a year now and that is the only problem I have had, but I can def' see that with manufacturering, as I said the resonator and shifter *could* interfer.

If you don't run the shifter at it's absolute lowest setting you should have no problems. PS make sure you order the right version of the shifter for your car. If you have a GP, as your sig suggests, You need the updated or facelift version. Good luck!
