Borla cat back exhaust Rubbing when accelerate on a left turn

i have had the borla for a year and the mufflers are constantly hitting the faux tips.. I had a shop unbolt and fix, but they seemed to slip back again. Going to try myself and tighten the clamps but i dont have a torque wrench.
How much distance should i get from the tips? i have about an inch when cool, but after heat, the exhaust expands and hits.
With no torque wrench, if i try to manually tighten, can i break them?

There is a metal bracket under the car that holds the engine undercover air guide on (I'd guess right under where the front seats are). Check to see if it's hitting that. I was having an issue where my exhaust was hitting something and found my ISS Forged DES contacting that. I pulled it off and gently massaged it with a BFH then painted the areas where I chipped off the paint. Hasn't rattled since.

No problem here after two minor adjustments finding the perfect sweet spot. No matter what exhaust you get, you may need to make a few adjustments after install. I experienced this with a titanium ARC Exhaust on my prior car and the Blitz Nur Spec on another car.
