Received and installed!

Total time: ~45 minutes

The axle-back was well packaged, with sturdy box and foam packaging material where needed.

The install is pretty straight forward, however the included hardware bolts/nuts and rubber hangers were not used. In my car at least the stock bolts were welded in place so i had to reuse those, and the rubber hanger piece was also not needed (no way to mount them) and the stock ones were reused. I did use the included gaskets.

The hardest part was loosening everything, the nuts were on pretty tight and I had to use a breaker bar, also the rubber hangers required a bit of elbow grease to remove the stock exhaust. The tips are about 3-5mm more inward than the stock tips, nothing noticeable. I believe this is only on Nismo.

Make sure to use proper safety gear for your hands and eyes.

Sound: It is a very nice low/growly sound. Does not drone at all at any RPM and is actually very stock-ish sounding at cruising speeds. It is however very loud and aggressive under acceleration and fits the car perfectly. Very happy I got these, I think they are perfect for the car and the way the car should have sounded from factory.
