+1 They all look like that (or most companies). Some do not have the seat support though.

Most muffler shops probably know how to install them properly. Just make sure the vehicle weight is supported by the wheels. You want them installed w/ the car sitting like it would flat on the road.

+1 I had mine installed at a muffler shop. It was cool though because the kid who did them also has a 331 stroker with a D1 on it.... hes installed 15+ of his own sets plus whatever he gets at the shop so he was very experienced. I got charged $140. Called them, they said drop it off in an hour. Picked it up two hours later and it was finished. $140 was a little much but not bad.

I know of non-verts that had connectors welded in while the car was up on jack stands, to counteract the sag from over the years. You could see the difference at the body seams and notice subtle stance improvements.
Could I damage myvert having connectors installed this way?
