Default 3is 2017 rear diffuser with RC Invidia q300 axle back

Does anyone know if you can run the RC Invidia q300 vertical tip axle back on an 3is with the 2017 rear diffuser?

They are not "that" vertical, pretty sure it would fit no problems. I'm running the Takeda AxleBack since a while.

I’m just worried about the top exhaust tip having enough clearance.

If it fits the RC, 99% chances it fits the IS.

I like the looks of the Takeda! Do you have pics of yours installed or maybe a audio clip? Would love to hear it broke in.

Here's a quick ugly pic I took last week, you can see them a bit.

Don't have a sound clip yet.

I know it fits the Toms diffuser since we have done multiple cars with the Toms diffuser + invidia RC axle back..

With the OEM diffuser, I don't think it fills the gap as it does for the RC but it will fit with no actual fitment issues
