My answers from my not very good experience!
1. I think it needs shortening slightly, but don't take my word for it.
2. Don't know.
3. I'd think hard before doing that, but don't take my word for it

1. Needs a little bit trimming off each end possibly a couple of 'v' shaped cuts to get it to bend a little more tightly
2. Quite possibly, have a check to see if any look worn causing the exhaust to touch somewhere
3. Also not sure on this, but to stick them back on use double sided tape

I think the splitters go straight on, cozmeister has doine one so maybe ask him(PM).
Exhaust is moving under cornering is normal when they are not hung properly, especially with aftermarket ones from stainless due to their heavier weight, scorpion are a tight fit but, it bangs a round the bend in the bottom of the down pipe where it then goes rear wards ?
Just loosen and reposition, clamps have to be TIGHT to stop it moving again.
Wrinkly bump strips are not something I have any experience with, but as to sticking them on I would use proper BODYTAPE, which is like double sided tape but mega sticky.

Testing the future
1) laguna splitter is not a direct fit in my experience. needs some trimming off the ends and holes drilling for fixing
2) may not be the hangers. quite common for the downpipe to hit the anti roll bar under cornering which causes a vibration. does it do it only cornering one way?
by the way tabetha, a stainless system is generally lighter than the OE one. i put an OE one in the back of a transit yesterday and couldn't believe how heavy it was. definitely heaveir than any stainless one i have ever had
3) can't help, sorry
