Default JIC Kit and Exhaust fitment

I'm going to be doing a custom exhaust soon but I was planning on getting a JIC body kit later on and was wondering if anyone had fitment problems with the JIC kit after they had installed a non factory exhaust system? Thanks

There will always be minor inconsistencies with exhaust placement and aftermarket kits.

My Wald rear bumper was WAAAY off and required rediculous modifications to fit my Blitz.

In an ideal situation you'd install the kit first, and then install the aftermarket exhaust to get perfect fitment to that particular bumper.

If you MUST do the exhaust first, just get it done so it fits in the stock location, and then after you install the kit, go back and have the mufflers repositioned to fit the aftermarket kit.

I had my exhaust customized after the kit was installed. You might not be satsified with the look if you put the exhaust on first. It might be too far in, too far out, or just not directly centered through the kit if the kit goes on after the exhaust is in place.

yea, I think it will be better just to kit the kit first and then have the exhaust made to fit it. Plus I'm going to do a dual RS-R exhaust custom built so I can have it made to fit the kit perfectly.
