F-Sport Axelback Rattle

Hey guys! I installed an F-Sport Exhaust on my car a couple weeks ago and I am experiencing some issues. Once the exhaust heats up, I am hearing rattling. It was installed correctly by a professional. Has anyone else experienced this or any tips/opinions? Thank you Lexus family!

Are you sure the rattling sound is coming from the exhaust?
Is it during idle, or while driving?

I am sure it's coming from the exhaust since I've experienced it many times before with multiple cars. It usually rattles if i go over any minor bump in the road. By minor, I mean everything. It's a real bummer and irritates me like crazy!

I sure hope so. The F-Sport exhaust isn't cheap..
I had mine for 6 months, and it worked perfectly with no issues at all.

No rattles from my F-Sport Exhaust so far. I've read in other threads that the heat shielding under the car can be the source of the rattling.
