Vibrating sway bar and tcs

My coupe has a dc header and tcs exhaust that is trying to occupy the same space as my suspension techniques rear sway bar, ive tried modifying my hangers with ghetto zip ties but its still no enough clearance, so far the damage toll is a melted rear bumper that i had to modify( not noticeable at all ) but how the heck am i do i get my exhaust system to clear the sway bar?[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

bend the hanger support up about a inch inch and a half but then you will have a bumper that will be melted a bit more.

Make sure you have the sway bar installed correctly, I have an OBX exhaust which i think is bigger than the TCS and i have a 22mm sway bar, and my setup just barely clears, and I have 1" longer than stock exhaust hangers, so I think you are doing something wrong, there should be plenty or room, you might have to adjust the endlinks a little and the brackets that bushings attach to, slide those down as far as possible!!!

ill check out the sway bar but its pretty straight with almost no bends in it where there would be more clearance for the exhaust. adjusting the brackets might help. thx fot the suggestions
