My progress rear sway bar hits my evo2 exhaust. Got any ideas?

My rear progress sway bar rubs against my exhaust and vibrates the whole car. Does anyone know how to fix this? To remove this ad, register today for free or log in if already registered!

I ended up taking my car to a shop. They heated up my exhaust with a torch and bent it out of the way of the bar.

progress designed these like shit, IMO.....i havent installed the one for my 04 si yet, but i already know it will slightly touch my oem pipe.....i wish i had known this before, but anyway the design (shape) of the bar is the reason it hits almost every exhaust known to man

forgot to post an idea.....sorry......try getting smaller hangers for ur rear section to bring the pipe up a lil. that will work or just modify the hangers that are there if u dont want to buy new ones

yes this problem is actually happening to me at this time, the bar is rubbing against the oem muffler. I thought it was just me, but I see that I am not the only one, really worry for minute. I guess I am going to need to head out to a muffler shop to fix this.
