Default Joe Z Exhaust Rubbing?

Missed that intoxicating sound so much on my previous IS-F, I had to get one for the new RC-F as well! Well I finally got it installed this weekend, and no problems. However I drove it almost 20 miles to work today and noticed rubbing very little on initial takeoff, but more so on left turns. Did the heat expand the metal at all from the longer drive? Minor adjustment is all I need I suppose, will take it back to the shop this week! No fault to the system, it sounds glorious, It's probably the install. Anyone else noticed to have to make slight adjustments to make it perfect?

PS: Joe Z, your inbox was full.

No problem. Mine was installed perfectly by Arrowhead Lexus and I have about 5k miles on it now. Mine was in the 2nd build not the 1st build last June 2015.

hey buddy! each car is a little different but when i first installed it, before we put it on the ground it needed to be adjusted. What we found was DO NOT line up the flanges perfectly, adjust the flanges until every thing is rub free.

Had mine installed 2 weeks ago by my Lexus dealer and have not heard anything rubbing or peculiar sounds.I looked and felt under the car before leaving the lift and nothing, just that great sound!

Thanks bro, yeah I had to bring my IS-F back when I had installed the Joe- Z for minor adjustments as well, like you said each car is different, so I will do the same for the RC-F!

Can't wait to hear it. I finally installed my Apexi exhaust and wish I didn't wait so long
