Has anyone had any issue with their aftermarket exhaust moving after a few weeks of being installed? I thought I heard that someone say that it is important to have the exhaust readjusted or aligned after you the break-in period.

Depends, but it certainly can need a readjustment after a week or so of normal driving, as it can shift and move with the heat cycling. I had to have one rear can repositioned on mine.
Yeah, Im about 1,000 post install on my APR exhaust and it needs an adjustment, as the installers said it would after heat cycling and concurrent shifting of the components. Tips are getting a bit droopy now that everything has settled into place.

I just threw mine on over the weekend and it's shifted a little already (rear passenger side bears more weight between hangers). I'll probably give it another week or two and then readjust. He and I weren't really friends by the end of the install, so I'm happy to let the AWE suffer in a slightly uncomfortable position for a bit.

I had to have my Milltek readjusted as well due to shifting. Have about 15,000 kms on it since and all is good.
