Here is mine. Claims to be the 6th in the U.S. Installed on the 26th of November. The sound in person is awesome, the videos you find of it do it absolutely no justice. I was glad it wasn't ear splittingly loud, but, I want it louder now. I'm gonna go with either motive concepts test & over pipe or @FA20Club.com test & over. Can't make my mind up.

@FLIPs_FR-S don't even think! Go for motiv quality is on a different level, + u can usually get it faster . Consider a resonated front pipe if you are thinking of adding a header in the long run!

Whereas the one GReddy USA was selling looks exactly like the prototype from August of last year. And the way the tips line up looks too far up/close to the bumper and uneven compared to my SP Elite and the STI exhaust. Too many red flags for my $1600.

More pics of fit and finish here.

From the clips I've seen online they seem to have a rasp to them.

P.S. I've got nothing against forged wheels. In fact, I've got a set being made in Japan (don't want to disclose brand just yet) and I'm worried they might be fragile compared to my XXRs which were packed more densely (cast) with material. I just see forged as a way to make wheels strong using less material (lightweight) whereas cast is just as strong, sometimes stronger, because it uses more material.

There's no rasp from this exhaust. The video posted here are real bad quality so it's hard to engage the true sound this exhaust makes. I have a Motiv overpipe and HKS double resonated front pipe on the car iand s even smoother sounding but with a much quieter tone at highway speeds. It's a tad too quiet for my taste right now so I brought a Tanabe front pipe to replace the HKS one I have on now this week and will report back here with info on raspyness. As of now there is no rasp for my current setup.

I'll try to take a video of my current setup to give you a sound clip.
Motiv Overpipe, HKS double resonated front pipe, Greddy GTS V2 catback.

@raytrix how does the sound compare to the SP Elite (if you've heard it in person)?

Here's a sound clip I just made right now before I install the Tanabe front pipe this week. Watch in 1080p for maximum audio quality.

Setup:
Greddy Comfort Sport GTS V.2
HKS double resonated Front pipe
Motive Over Pipe

Is the Tanabe catless? And have you replaced the hks yet. Wanna hear it when you do.

Tanabe is a test pipe (no cat or resonator). It sounds so good now combined with the Greddy GTS V2. Not loud at all on the highway cruising. When you hit the gas pedal down in all gears the exhaust comes alive. It's beastly smooth as I can describe it.

Great to know. Motive concepts or ultimate racing over and front test pipe are in my near future. PM if you make a video of the sound please sir.
