Default My exhaust... And the FiveAxis rear lip

I need a new rear lip so I'm looking into the FiveAxis rear. The problem is there's no way I'm going to give up my HKS Carbon Ti. Now, my exhaust sits basically straight, but I have no idea how the angle on the FiveAxis sits. Here's a pic of my exhaust and the clearest pic of the rear lip I could find.

Clearest FiveAxis rear lip I could find






Or, I can just get the OEM rear lip and just not worry about it

Also, if this helps, it sits EXACTLY like the Tsudo but the tip sits out further.

Couldn't you get a longer hanger from napa or something to make it sit lower?

Yes. But what I'm worried about is the size of the tip, along with the angle the exhaust sits. I really want the lip but not at the cost of the exhaust.

been a dilema for me too, unfortunately my choice is to scrap the exhaust, leaves very few good looking exhausts...basically the greddy Ti-C is the only good looking straight one to me.

my votes for the Five Axis rear lip, but i'd rather spend the money on getting different wheels. you can always have a muffler shop realign the muffler after the kit is put on.

even though its an agressive lip, from what ive heard the NIA real lip is cut for both angled and straight exhausts and its fairly cheap!

i dont think anyone realizes what im trying to say.
im going to upgrade my rear lip, and getting rid of the one i have now.
i was looking into the fiveaxis but i cant because my exhaust wont clear the hole for it. the CF heatshield on my lip right now is MOLDED onto the lip, thus i cant remove it.

and no on the NIA. the entire kit looks like crap to me

why not keep that lip and just lower your exhaust a bit. you wont find another lip made for angled exhuast exept for the NIA lip.

lol^

yeah, you're getting rid of your lip right? lol, well.. i understand that you want to keep your exhaust.. sooo, get the five axis, and go to a muffler shop to adjust the exhaust to make it fit. voila, perfect.
