With the Z being built off a line then exact fitment might be off from car to car.
Also, when building a custom exhaust system you want the car on site so you can verify fitment. It is best not to use a "dummy" car because of slight differences.

so how do these one size fits all aftermarket exhaust systems work? do you get fitment issues because of those slight differences between cars? or even the stock exhaust, how do they fit? i doubt nissan creates a customized exhaust for every single car off their assembly line.

If you check the forum you will see minor fitment issues from all exhausts, more so the popular ones because they sell more. Usually it is minor and just need little changes to fix them. How does Nissan do it? Well the hangers can be bent (no change in exhaust), maybe heating up a pipe to get a slightly different bend on those that do not pass Nissan inspection.

There are many different reasons, but when going with a custom exhaust you want the car on site for the best result. Plus you can dial things in better, sound, flow, etc.

What ever the reason, Amuse probably just feels more comfortable having it done in house. In general, direct face to face interaction is better, especially when creating a new exhaust. This way, they can be sure the customer is happy with it.

Stock exhausts usually have flexible sections to allow for the minor variances from car to car. You know what I'm talking about? Like if you look at the stock Y-pipe, it has small sections that look like woven steel? Aftermarket exhausts typically don't come with these flexible sections.
