Default Compatible exhaust for lip kit

My scion has the Racing Solution Lip kit on it with an HKS Hi Power exhaust. The tip of the exhaust is tilted to the side and used to actually touch the bumper. I've lowered the hangers of the exhaust which solved the problem of it touching the bumper, but that makes it hang too low.. and sometimes I end up scraping it. Also the rear lip is burnt and exhaust smoke is always present on the bumper ( which requires me to wipe it off every once in a while).

I was wondering if anyone has this lip kit and what exhaust they are using that does not burn the bumper. Taking a look on kaminari's website, I saw that they recommend the borla exhaust as being compatible with their bodykit. Does anyone know or think it will be compatible with the racing solution kit? Or have any other suggestions of exhaust?? Mainly I'm gonna stay away from slanted type exhaust tips and just stick to straight back ones, but I want to make sure it won't further damage the bumper or leave any exhaust smoke.

i have a lip kit on mine and the tilted exhast but when they installed it, the exhast was melting the part of the bumper that it touched and blacking a small bit of the right side lip kit. i have not experienced the whole buurnt bump i had them pull it out a little bit i think i have a pic on my profile of my exhast go and check it out and u will see what i mean ok
but other then that just look around and ask more people

if you have the OEM lip kit, then the kit, or the exhaust was installed wrong. I've hade my OEM lip kit and the HKS hi-power for over a year and not one incidence of touching or burning, or scraping for that matter. If it's the RS1 lip kit, yeah most "tilted" exhaust will burn from what i've heard, you'll be better off with the OEM style from Precision Muffler, or Magnaflow, or Borla. I believe the Injen is straight though if you like the JDM cannon look, but the piping actually hangs pretty low also.
