Default Sway bar

My rear sway bar is set to only allow a single pipe exhaust to go through. Trying to find the right sway bar to replace the front and rear to put in true dual.

There are plenty of aftermarket dual exhausts that will fit around the rear sway bar.

Do you have some stupid setup with 15 degrees of negative camber and 20-inch wheels, or is this an actual drivable car? Sway bar and exhaust manufacturers make parts that work together. For example, you could use the Hotchkis bars with the Invidia Gemini Dual exhaust.

Why do you need an exhaust, anyway? Didn't you blow your engine up last week? What's going on with that?

There are a number of threads dedicated to this issue here.

In a couple of them, it was discovered that the right hand/passenger side (USDM models at least) pipe was installed incorrectly as the mid-pipe goes OVER THE TOP of the bar, not under, as it does on the left hand/driver side. (See pic in post above). I would check that first.

As mentioned, most of the aftermarket, name brand sway bars such as Hotchkis, Stillen, Eibach, have little or no interference that can't be fixed with a proper adjustment (higher mounting) and bracing of the pipe/muffler assembly.

I also recall reading somewhere (here on my350Z.com) that Motordyne builds their sway bars with a little more consideration for true dual setup (such as their own TDX2).
