As long as they take their time and you are satisfied when they're done, no problem!

I would say the Nissan dealership will be the best source, since they know there own cars. You should be good even if a muffler shop does it. Just make sure it's clear that the canisters and tips are aligned.

Any of you guys with the GRiP have another exhaust previously? How does it compare?

Here's my Ark Grip + Swift Spec-R springs. Not the best picture but there's plenty of clearance.

Will do. The lowest point of the exhaust is just about equal with the factory (by the diff). Check out Adalvar's photo above

Best bet would be to let the dealership install it, so they can take responsibility for anything that might go wrong, thanks guys!

Mine is now installed! Alignment is perfect!

Not sure how much gains as i have other mods, but i can definitely tell you it is noticible. Response is better and i felt more top end power after install, car just feels more "loose" is the only way i can describe it. This, plus the sound and looks are just
