    either run under axle exhaust, get rid of the exhaust, or get a new sway bar because a lot of people have the same problem

    its only with some exhausts... not all.

    you can bend your exhaust hangers slightly to lift it off the bar or place some radiator hosing on your bar and zip tie it... thats what i did with my hks exhaust. mine never tapped until the swap.

    Cut axle back pipe, place 1/2" - 1" pipe extension in, weld it, done.

    I ended up bending the support tabs and taking a hammer to the exhaust to massage it a little. After a while I ended up just taking the muffler off.

    thats why i think the best thing to do on our ep's if we have after market sways and mainly progress is to run our exhausts under axle plus it looks damn sweet

    What if I dont access to welding my exhaust? Could I solve the problem by getting stiffer hangers or would heat wrap be the best solution! If Im going turbo, should I keep my exhaust or sell it?

    Thanks,
    Matt

    You could try a set of the urethane exhaust hangars.

    Where do I find those at because I found these exhaust hangers made by Cusco. Not sure what to think of them?

    Thanks,
