Hey all! I am very new to the forum, so I apalogize if this isn't the appropriate place for this. I replaced my stock exhaust yesterday with the F sport performance Axle back exhaust. I am MORE than pleased with it, however I noticed my right side is sitting .5" lower than the left. Before I start bending hangers does anyone else have any experience with this?

I know it uses the unique self seating gaskets and my left side doesn't seem to be fully seated yet, my right side looks fully seated. Will my left side drope? Or is it just the possibility my right hanger posts are slightly different on the physical muffler. You can't notice it at first glance but it sticks out to me.

Any helps or links to threads with experienced people would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sure I'm using some of thr wrong terminology above I'm not a mechanic but have done many basic bolt on modifications over the years.

2015 3IS F Sport


Thank You

 

I had the exact same problem after I went from stock exhaust to the F-Sport Exhaust where one was sitting higher than the other. When I took it back to the installer, they slightly bent the hanger post on the side with the exhaust that was too close too bumper. Looks even now.

 

I don't believe you need to bend anything. Just make sure it's lined up before you tighten the bolts

 

It happened yesterday when they installed mine, then they bent one to align them but when i reached home i noticed the right one is higher so i pushed it down with both hands and now it's aligned with the left tip.

 

i'm sure craftsmanship for the 3IS and lexus overall wouldn't require you to "bend" anything.. like the other person said, make sure everything is aligned before tightening down..

 

I just installed mine the other day and everything lines up perfectly. Depth and height.
