Default Sway bar??

I'm going to do true dual exhaust and wondering which sway bars are the best to buy that would allow two pipes to run past it.

My Hotchkis rear bar worked fine with my Borla. (Before I removed it.)

I would be more concerned with which sway bar best suits your car and driving needs (independent of exhaust considerations) and an exhaust system that's designed around the factory or aftermarket bar as sway bars all follow factory configuration and mounting points. Good news.... pretty much all are designed as such.

They'd better be else they've limited their market appeal.

I have replica HKS Hipower duals. They fit, but it is a tight fit, little clearance on passenger side where piping goes up over the stock rear sway bar. I tightened each piece going from one to the next, to tighten down evenly, making sure each section lined up. There is probably about 1/2"-5/8" clearance from where passenger pipe goes above sway bar.

Bodyshop tried leaving that pipe literally RESTING on top of sway bar, I knew to check. Saw that and told them that was unacceptable.

I'm actually posting to the shop experience thread, or starting a thread (if I can't find one in the Dallas/Fort Worth regional forums), about my lovely (100% sarcasm) experience with this body shop. As well as reporting them to the BBB. Not trying to smear their name but am trying to give an honest account of my experience. Trying to save the local guys a lot of unnecessary drama.
