Problems

No problems with the install. I used two stock car jacks (mine and one from a Maxima) and lifted up the driver's side of the car. This gives you plenty of room to get under and takes about a minute to do. It took exatly 35 minutes to install (allowing an hour for the WD-40 to work). The fit is perfect and I was able to do it without any help!

Tips

Make sure you spray the nuts with WD-40. I sprayed them about an hour before I started, and had no problems. I bought a stock gasket from Nissan for the cat/pipe hook-up. It is steel and seems alot better qual;ity ($5).

Thoughts

The looks are great, performance is better at the high end, and the cost/install time makes it worth it.

Other

The guys at NOPI sell many different exhausts, I told them cost was not an issue, and they still said HKS. When I went to pick up the exhaust, there were 2 civics, 1 integra, and a Z in the parking lot. All had HKS! A friend of mine got a Borla, and it fell apart inside after a year(not 1 million miles). When he called them about replacement, they told him that they discontinued that model and they would have to track down one. That kind of makes you wonder...I think Cyberauto.com has the HKS for a little less than NOPI. Get the Greddy for looks.
