Default Does your exhaust/sway combo creak?

I originally wanted Borla TD exhaust and a sway (not sure which), but I have heard of some people complaining that fitment wasn't perfect and there would be creaks, like how the chassis wasn't meant to carry TDs. So now I'm thinking about Nismo Exhaust + Sways (Still good, but not first choice) just to make sure it has perfect fitment.

So i just wanted to find out what combos are you guys running and if there are any "off noises" either from the exhaust alone, sway alone, or the combo of both

Aftermarket dual exhaust is routed the same under the car as the OEM exhaust:
Drivers side: under the anti-roll bar
Passenger side: over the top of the anti-roll bar

An after market anti-roll bar will be shaped similar to the OEM bar. If it will clear the OEM exhaust, it will also clear after market dual exhaust. I don’t see a problem.

Thanks for the pic and reply.

I heard of people complain about fitment noises (or maybe it was from something else, but they said it was from fitment) before and don't wanna spend $1200+ on something that doesn't fit right.

My Borla TD hasn't had a problem with leaks, but sometimes when the car is extremely cold the exhaust will rattle (I suspect it is hitting against the sway). After it warms up though its completely gone, so it isnt much of an issue.
