Yes I do have the grip catback and test pipe on my car and have had it for about a month or so. I believe the clip with the white frs is their car with the test pipe on.

In terms of sound, the catback itself is a little too quiet. with the test pipe it sounds perfect! Has a hollow type of sound in the higher rpms which i absolutely love and towards the bottom it's really deep. I guess you can kind of relate it to the tone of a g35/37 with the canister type of exhausts. kind of a bad example since it's a v6, but imagine that hollow awesome tone. Oh, and that helmholtz design is functional. It definitely eliminates drone!

In terms of performance, the torque dip has improved because of the test pipe and the car does seem to be more responsive and pick up quicker. I highly recommend this exhaust.

Sounds pretty good imo, even though it's catless.
