$600 with install sounds very reasonable actually. Be sure of a few things:

1. The existing exhaust system is not damaged.
2. You get to keep your old exhaust system. They may want to keep and resell your old exhaust, but it's not like you're going to get much for it.
3. They're installing three parts: downpipes, mid-pipe, and muffler section. The OEM Nismo mid-pipe is an H-pipe vs. your standard Y-pipe. Not that all H-pipe's are better than any Y-pipe, but in this case this is what Nissan is stating.
4. The OEM Nismo exhaust is being installed with a warranty. You may want to ask the dealership to put something in writing.

Most other aftermarket exhausts cost $1-2k plus shipping and install. Those perform (HP/tq gains) better, but at $600 you're definitely getting what you're paying for.
