Only thing I got behind the engine is the axleback TRD quad tip exhaust.

Trying to keep it simple, avoid headaches, and spend as little time in the shop as possible.

I didn't know there was cutting involved, it's a bit of a turnoff, but if it is minimal maybe I can swallow it.

As long as it works, and doesn't cause issues I'm ok. I'm mostly worried about the heat, it can be 35C for weeks on end in the summer, and in the winter can hit 0C, though normally is around 10C.

What do you think? Could it be the right kit for me?
In terms of the heat, I'm located in the US and where I'm at it's pretty hot during the summer. 35C most of the summer or hotter. I have't noticed any issues whatsoever. However! I do have an oil cooler just in case, as I like to do spirited back road driving.
As for reliability, I don't think any one here has had an issue with the supercharger. One guy was having issues with his exhaust quality, but that wouldn't matter for you since you have the TRD exhaust.
