bolt your axle back a little tighter to the body itself. i mean where exactly is the exhaust hitting the sway bar? and are they sharp turns or wide ones? just wonderin.

Rep Power: 336 no i mean get more U shaped mounts and put them on the chasis. go to a mechanic and tell him the prob. either get rubber mounts that are tighter to the chasis-meaning the rubber is tighter so it swivels less, or get the U brackets, they will stop the whole thing from moving at all. just find a good place to put extra brackets.

still dont understand what your talking about..... the hangers that come from the chasis attach to rubber hangers which attach to the muffler. do i need tighter rubber pieces? or should i say less flexible rubber pieces.

Rep Power: 336 yes less flexible rubber pieces. and what i mean it that bracket that holds you cat to your chasis. those things with bolts on them that hold the cat and piping. i can't really describe it any other way.

Rep Power: 323 It wont melt as long as your pipe is not resting on it all the time. The temp of the pipe back there is not that high.
Or one step better is getting some cloth covered breather hose for a german car vw ect. the cloth cover will keep it from melting. < thats what i am using.
dc exhaust hangs really close to the swap bar.

I had to sell my progress bar a long time ago because it would not clear. 
as far as finding the cloth covered hose you should look around for a local european auto parts place. or any aircooled vw shop. I would be willing to bet that the rubber hose will work fine. if you can't find the cloth covered stuff, for a couple of bux the rubber hose is worth a try.
