Nizmo Freek, it's simple...
Obviously the kit can be made to sit higher than the way it appears on my car. Dezz's pic above is a perfect example - don't ask me how he did it though (unless his mounting bracket is different to the one I received - I bought mine brand new 3 years ago, so perhaps the bracket has been revised, or more likely I've got the incorrect bracket or done something incorrect when installing).
Without going to the trouble of pulling my front bar off (don't ask, I'd love to help, but I won't do it), I think you've got about as much info as you're going to get to help with your decision.
If you're still worried about the return pipe being too low or you're considering substantially lowering your car, then perhaps you should consider a different FMIC.
