Is this anything substantially different than a copy of the GMG pipe (that has existed in one form or another for a decade) with a different tip design?
All bypasses are tame on these cars; if you want some real sound you need to go straight pipes or at least delete the cats.

"Tame" is a relative term. Tame compared to straight pipes on Cup. Yeah, likely but for the street the sound is "just right" to me. Aggressive and deep with a great loud aggressive deep rasp once you get above 4500. He sounds "NASTY & PISSED OFF" once you get to that level.
Sound is great IMHO. Noticiable difference (very) compared to stock. Not sure I would want much more for the street. Would be too loud IMHO. Makes the car very fun to drive. I agree with the above comments that the sound makes you want to drive the car even more.
Lumber. Love the color.
Glad you like the Pipe. I agree it looks fantasic in person. Illusion of two but really one.

^ totally agree
Louder isn't better for me, anymore. I like clean wail, with no drone. This bypass ticks all the boxes.
And it does look really cool mounted on the car. I never thought that would be a selling point, but surprisingly, it is.

Has anyone chosen the ceramic coated version?

Hmm... this might be for me. Sounds awesome and I don't think I'm going to go all headers and all that since I already have an (slight) issue with the car getting too much attention.

There's a lot of adjustability before you tighten everything down. I'm pleased with where my tips sit. They look normal.

Similar to the GMG but allows the exhaust gases to truly scavange each other from side to side.

Cup cars and the GT3R that races in GTD and PWC are far from "straight piped" or loud at all; that said, the current RSR is pretty loud and makes a distinct impression with its 9400 RPM redline.
