Yes, I had the 90mm SS system installed and the fit and finish is beyond top notch. It's almost too nice to hide under the car.
A couple of notes of interest regarding the exhaust. First, it has a deeper exhaust tone at idle and there is no drone at cruising speed. It does sing an authoritative song a WOT. As far as the tips are concerned, The Switzer tips are beautiful but they do protrude about three inches or so from the bumper, even when fully retracted. I guess this is important for the high horsepower cars (the excess heat can damage the bumper) I wanted more of a stock look and was happy that I could use my 2009 tips. But even with the stock tips I am still out about one inch more than I was originally. I did not realize this until I got home. It does not look bad but I may take it back for further adjusting.
I did not really get a chance to push the P600 hard yet. With the holiday weekend our roads are flooded with the men in blue. I will have it to the track in the next week or two to see what it can do. I previously had a mid-pipe and a couple of different E-tunes and would run 11.1 @ 125-127mph. I am anxious to see what the improvement will be.

lol, no wonder your screenname looked familiar on NAGTROC. good seeing you on here man. again, your car is sick!
Baller!
Damn! Sky, you moved to Denver? Craziness.
Just saw your post on NAGTROC. Congrats on the purchase of a beautiful car. Funny but I was just at Switzer yesterday for my P600 install. Tim, Neil and DK are a fantastic group of guys and they even took me for a ride in Scott's (Divexxtreme) GTR Ultimate Car. Holy Moses, it makes the P600 feel like a Honda hybrid. Anyways, best of luck with your future mods and shoot me a pm if you have any questions about the P600 package or about Switzer in general.

The members here rule. When I sold my E55 in 2007 and got some non benz cars including my GTR in 2009; they all showed me respect.
Love the car- white is the way to go I actually broke in my GTR the hard way pushing it hard for short bursts up and down the RPM from mile 1. Never had an issue.

Only thing missing to make this a full on Alpha 9+ car are the turbos (Which are on order and I have a scheduled install date of 8/20 with ACG!)

Love the GT-R bro! Looks fantastic, the wheels are perfect and the custom work on that spoiler is ****.
I'm happy to hear that you have had great service from your dealer, I always pass those stories along to Nissan corporate so credit is given where it's due.
Keep up the great work!
