Unhappy HKS Hi Power exhaust, Will it touch body kit?

Hey i was about to purchase the hks hi power exhaust for my ex and i have a kaminari rear lip. I was just wondering, since the tip is angled outwards, will it interfere with the rear lip? If anyone has the exhaust or can give me any help at all please do so.
Thanks a lot

it could possibly make the paint bubble like it did to this member http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...ht=hks+exhaust when he got his installed it started to bubble on his g5 lip, so you may want to get it lowered at a shop or some new hangers made or something so it doesnt sit so close

yup, it started bubbling the paint. But, that pic I took of it is about as worse as its gonna get I think. It hasnt gotten any bigger, so I think its just gonna pretty much stay that way. If you can, I would suggest have the exhaust lowered a bit, I herd you can do it with a hammer, but I just dont wanna do it myself. The paint already took its toll, so im just gonna leave it that way.

i have a similar exhaust and my tip is right up agains the rear bumber(also kaminari) i ment to lower it but never did... it rubbed the paint of the underside but you cant even tell unless its on the lift and you move the muffler and look at it. it has to do with the paint to if it bubbles... i payed 500 for my kit to be painted and the owner personaly warenteed the paint from chips peeling or bubling for life.

Thanks for the help, and yeah my paint has already started to bubble from the stock exhaust, so i guess it wont screw it up that much more.
