I recently had my F sport exhaust installed and I noticed my left side is slightly lower than the right. I asked the mechanic who installed it and he followed the instruction by loosening the bolts, adjust the muffler, and then tighten the screws. Still looks a little off. I searched the forums and it looks like some people had the same problem but I cannot find if they fixed the problem.

So my question is did anyone find an easy fix? I'm pretty sure the mechanic used the new rubber hangers that came with the exhaust. If not, how can I tell? Do the rubber hangers look different from stock ones?

Please help! It bugs the hell out of me especially that I paid a lot for it! Here's a photo....It might not look like it but it's off about 1/4 of an inch lower. Sorry...I'm OCD like that....

Now I have to check my exhaust

This is a common issue with not just F Sport exhaust but any exhaust putting on ISx50. The left side hang lower and if you notice, stick out a bit more than the right side. It doesn't bother me since I have a rear diffuser on it and it looks quite neat.

I remember a member complained about this and he re-installed it like 7 times to get it right lol.

Even my IS350 with the Lexus HKS exhaust came like that stock.

If it makes you feel better, you will be the only one who notices. Took me a couple seconds to even see which side had the problem haha. It's very minor, and they look quite good as is!

Lol...yeah the guy who installed it for me looked like he wanted to pound my head into the muffler to even it out.

Thanks guys. I guess I just gave myself an excuse to buy a some sort of lip kit.

Find a slightly shorter exhaust hanger or a stiffer one for that drivers side canister. I've been looking for some myself to get my OEM exhaust with GFX tips tucked into the rear lip closer.

Had this same problem when I installed my Tanabe axle back exhaust. I just used a wire/zip tie to raise the driver side exhaust tip up by about 10-15mm...put the wire/zip tie right next to the rubber hanger. I only used one wire/zip tie on the rubber hanger that was more stretched. There are two rubber hangers per canister,

I had the same problem after installing my F-sport exhaust.

You just have to play around with the rubber exhaust hangers to get both sides even.

How do I check if the installer actually used the new rubber hangers? Do they look the same or different?
