Installed the CT b-pipe a couple of months ago. At CT, my car dyno'd at 236 WHP with CT intake/headers/b-pipe/exhaust. Car also revs smoother throughout the RPM range with the b-pipe. Feels more drivable. I had to install the CT quiet inserts to cut down on the deep droning sound. On dyno, only lost 1 WHP from low to 6200 RPM and 2-3 WHP up to 7000 RPM. Now car sounds much more aggressive.
But I'm planning on installing the CT SC, so I'll see even more gains with the CT b-pipe.

did the removal of those silencers on your TL make your car sound louder and more agressive though, cuz I dont want to take it off if it somehow causes power loss or sounds like shit without exhaust, since I got stock exhaust.

Are you saying the car still sounds aggressive with the quiet tips in? I thought they almost turn the car back into sounding like stock again?

Car sounds more more aggressive with CT b-pipe/exhaust/quiet tips than with stock exhaust. Without the quiet tips car is even more aggressive sounding, but a bit too much for me for commuting.
