Many times in the past as recent as last month. I did shoot an email over to the owner to see if we can do this maybe even with a qty buy but I have tried this on the G37 and G35 AWD platform and it was denied on both occasions.

I bought my ark exhaust from CAR id a while ago. I had it installed im not good with my hands it was easier just to pay someone. It sounds awesome i have the 350. Ive never heard the Joe Z full catback in person i kinda wish i would have but im content with the ark system. I have been hearing this rattle/thumping when going over a bump not sure if the exhaust hitting on body just started happening after like 6 months with it installed. It was pretty cool i live in California so i pay taxes on everything. CAR id didnt charge me taxes or shipping.

Does it sound like a metallic rattle/grind? If so, you don't have enough clearance between the exhaust and the frame/heat shields.
Keep in mind, several factors here:
1. The motor mounts allow the motor a LARGE range of motion (because Lexus owners don't like to feel the engine
). Have someone start your car with you looking under it and see how much it moves. Its quite impressive how much the entire setup moves. You have to accommodate for that.2. The exhaust will grow and move as the car gets hotter, so clearances will change. If you are close to the frame when cold, you are probably hitting it when hot. Or you're now ringing off a heat shield.
3. As the car hits bumps, the motor mounts will absorb some of that motion, and it will be transferred to the exhaust, thus the exhaust is going to bounce around and hit the frame or shields.
I would recommend that you go back under the car (after it has run, wait for it to cool down a little unless you have high temp gloves - great investment if you don't), then start feeling the entire exhaust. If you can't fit your fingers into a gap (not your entire finger...but enough to feel space), loosen the exhaust and tweak it to make more clearance. If you're finding you have little clearance with a heat shield, don't be afraid to just bend the thing. I bent 2 on my wife's car.
If you've been rubbing the frame long enough, you should see black paint on the exhaust where its hitting as its melted the paint off the frame. Then you'll know exactly where.
This is normal occurrence for an aftermarket exhaust, it took me 2 additional adjustments to get my wife's IS right. Just make sure when you're adjusting the pipes that you have someone standing at the back of the car to make sure the tips are still pointing true.

I'd hope your frame is tight hahaha
