Got mine fitted on Fri... 
Today was the first good run it had and now i want a tunnel... 
Does yours sit tight against the heatshield when cold? Mine does and then it drops down a little when warm.  Might have to get 2 new rubber mounts for it to drop it a little so it doesn't rub.

Mine is snug but never had it touching or knocking, it has been as good as gold.

Mine does that a bit if it's very cold. My dad says he can tell how hard I've been driving it by how squint the right side tail pipe is when I come back lol
Take it to any exhaust place and get them to bend the hanger down a bit, that's all that was needed on mine when it started rubbing
