Finally, my B-pipe and muffler are coming together

Finally, my B-pipe and muffler are coming together
I've been searching for a 2K muffler and finally got one. I'm going to order the B-pipe from Warpspeed. Now, should I ship the 2K muffler to warpsspeed to attach to my B pipe to make it so they will all fit on my car?? Or, should I just order from Warpspeed, and when my B pipe arrives, have a local muffler shop put it all together on my car?? What's the advantage/dis-advantage of either way??

Now I need some ideas on what to do for tips, I didn't get any with mine.
Here is a pic, and yes thats me in the reflection squatting down to take the pic.

I just got mine done today at Budget Exhaust but they are close to me, I wouldn't ship it. All thats necessary is to shorten the neck and reweld the flange, then it just bolts on to the b-pipe flange.

OK. I'll do it locally then. Gotta find a reputable shop around me now.
I got an e-mail from Warp. They sell the complete B pipe without resonator for $150. That's what I'm getting.

Yup. That's exactly what my setup will be when I'm done with the exhaust. Nice PICs
Feel any difference with the 2K1 muffler? Part of the reason I got the 2K muffler is b/c I'm adding the VI. Those 2 would really compliment each other. I'm pretty much copying what the Nissan engineers did when they went from VQ30DE to VQ30DE-K.

Um, my 2K muffler has the chrome finisher I'm kinda iffy about it. I would prefer the way you have it, 2 distinct and not shiny pipes, rather that one wide shiny outlet. Also, with either setup, you have to re-shape the rear bumper cut-out to match the new muffler. If you want mine, maybe we can arrange something.
