You control both Nivmagus Elemental and Guttersnipe .

You cast an instant or sorcery.

Guttersnipe 's ability triggers and goes onto the stack.

You then exile the instant or sorcery to put two +1/+1 counters on Nivmagus Elemental .

Guttersnipe 's ability resolves, dealing 2 damage to the target.

Exiling the spell that triggered Guttersnipe 's ability will not counter that ability.

If you are asking whether your opponent can counter the spell or not, the answer is no. The spell is exiled by the ability of Nivmagus Elemental , so it's not a legal target when they go to cast a counterspell.
