Yes! it's been a year since I've started using the Vantage pipe, went through major and minor side impact, there is scratches and scrapes on the stinger
but no dents on the pipe itself. I also have the conventional aluminum pipe
that lasted 1 race, both pipes have pros and cons. if you want durability you won't be dissapointed. however the aluminum pipe will give you more horespower.

aluminum pipe will dent easily but carbon won't

I use to use this pipe on both my RRR's. The sound is amazing especially on a 5P TZ and performance not bad at all. However, I would beg to differ about its durability.

I went through about 3 pipes in the space of about 2 months. These resulted from a number of bumps. (Not major crash at all)

This could be a bump from another car or grazing a side wall. I brought it to the attention of Vantage Racing (Mike Chang) and they did say they were looking into an "add-on" item to add reinforcement. But to date, I have not heard of anything.

Since then, I have switched to the Skyline VR12+ pipe and have been very happy. Very strong pipe with amazing power.

Please note this is just my personal experience and would recommend you test the CF pipe yourself.
