Thinkin or replacin TCS for Greddy
I saw this on ebay and i think it'll fit nice cuz the TCS exhaust that ive got now is really burning the heck outta my bumper!! 
. I cant just lower the hangers cuz the piping on the muffler will hit the sway bar 
. Greddy exhaust
. I cant just lower the hangers cuz the piping on the muffler will hit the sway bar . Greddy exhaust 
just take the sway bar off.. and lower the hangers... i have a sedan.. with the tcs... not one problem... then again.. i dont have a rear sway bar... i really see no need for one... i have upper rear strut bar and lower tie bar...no swaying here.. nor bumper melting..

tcs kicks ***
to my knowledge greddy never made an axel back. all of there systems are cat back. and notice that it says "sp style tip" so it is fake as hell. i have a tcs and mine has done that at all no burning what so ever.

Rep Power: 346 Supposely the guy who sold it to me said it was a test exhaust. Whatever that means. Im guessing that it was first created and used this one to test it on the civic? Cuz you can see that the muffler is short.

No rear Sway bar = understeer like no other.....
Strut bars and tie bars do entirely different jobs then a Sway bar.
So, Dont take it off.

That "Greddy" exhaust has to be fake...1- Greddy dont make axle-back, 2-Greddy mufflers have "Greddy" engraved on em.

About 95% true. GReddy does make a very limited hand full of Axle-Back kits. The only reason why they have done this is due to the fact of the exhaust, on some cars, being continous with a welded cat to the mid pipe. The back axle is were the first bolt up begins (i.e.- The 02 Matrix)
Highly doubt GReddy sold him some test exhausts....."A" for creativity on the response though.
Anyway, that is a cheap brand muffler that LOOKS like GReddy. End of story!

I was thinking the same thing. We have a sway bar there for a reason

I looked in your member's ride and saw that you do have some aero parts on your car, such as the front and side skirts. Just didn't see a good picture of your rear bumper, so don't really know if you added any thing to it. But from the picture, it appeared stock and it just suprised me that DC would allow something so obvious to happen. I think you could complain to DC about this and get something out of it some chance.

Rep Power: 380 Really? Hmm....... Then I guess that Large ammount of Understeer that I got rid of when I Upgraded to the RSX's 19mm rear bar was all in my head.
Dude, If you think that Having or not having a rear anit-roll bar on our cars makes no difference in handling then you've never felt the difference between haveing one and not having one. Read up on suspension therory and you'll under stand that the Anti-roll bars primary job (IN a performance aspect) is not to reduce body roll, but to adjust the roll resistance on one end of the car or the other. This in turn controls where weight is transfered to durring a turn wich in turn determins If and when the car will understeer or oversteer in a corner.

if your having too much of a burning problem just put your stock exhaust back on. the only exhaust greddy makes to my knowledge is the evolution line and i honestly think that exhaust is ugly. I like the tip and all, but hate the big round muffler because it looks like its bigger than the tip.
