I got the JoeZ PTS axle back exhaust for 2014 IS350 and so happy with it. Last week, another dude hit me from behind and the right exhaust pushed back, not center aligned with the lower bumper anymore. I brought it to Lexus collision center and they refused to deal with aftermarket parts and I have to do it myself. Is there any way that I can straighten it back again or have to get the new exhaust. The car is still drivable but sometimes I heard weird noises, not from the exhaust it self but probably from the connection to the mid pipe. Any input, suggestion would be appreciate.

Probably need pictures of the actual exhaust to determine anything, you can get the car repaired at the dealer then go to a body shop to get the exhaust fixed.

push the muffler back through that rubber hanger and see how the positioning is then

I will get the car back by next Thursday. The insurance did cover the muffler and labor so the worst case scenario is get the next exhaust. If that can fix I can use that amount to get another upgrade.

I am more concern about the chasis and the muffler hanger. Wanted to put back the stock exhaust to check but was told I have to pay for the installation.

The picture was taken right after the hit. When I took the car to the dealer they did push back the rubber hanger but that didn't help much.

Consider the bumper is the issue not the exhaust/hanger?

after the car released from the dealer repair shop, I took it to the local muffler shop and had them fix it for me. The result was not so bad and I was pretty happy with that.
