Are you looking at doing a test fit of the IS mid pipe with the RC axle back?

Yes the mid pipe for sure doesn't fit but I'm pretty sure the axelback is just plug and play since RC and 3is share the same F sport axelback exhaust. It is also confirmed that JoeZ 3IS axelback fits on the RC. I would have gone with ARK if they just sell the rc axelback but they don't.

But, no we're looking to do IS exhaust with a newly designed IS rear axle back.

I know that, our exhaust fits as axle back as well, we just don't sell it in sections.

We just feel like you don't get full benefits from just having an axle back.

There are many Axle back only exhaust and people like myself like the look of it (to name a few F-sport, Tanabe ) but we are limited to what aftermarket midpipe we can use with it other than stock.

Yea I hear ya, we'll keep that in mind. Thanks! 
might be good idea to sell separately then if you have designed it already to be able to bolt on at factory points?
