Hi everyone. Need some advice on something I'm having a hard time addressing by myself. I recently obtained CarbonSignal's 09 Nismo rear diffuser. If any one has seen this in person he would know that the diffuser extends out of the nismo bumper quite far. I'd say maybe 1.5-2 more inches. Obviously with that kind of extension exhausts built for our vehicles seem extremely tucked under (not sure if its easy to see here):

So here are my two questions:
1) I love the diffuser so I'm considering taking this to a custom exhaust shop to get my tips extended outwards maybe 1.5 to 2 inches to match up. I'm thinking there will be a performance loss, but not by much. Plus, I went with the Ark exhaust for the looks and a decent but moderate tone. So losing out on performance isn't a big issue. Is this a bad idea?

2) Any recommendations for which shops to go to in SOCAL?

Thanks in advance!
