Exhaust/Swaybar problem

[TruBlu03]

I have the full Saleen Racecraft suspension, including swaybars, installed on my car. I also have Ford C-springs. Anytime I hit a bump in the road, the rear swaybar hits the exhaust(Magnaflow C/B).
I have inspected it and I can see where the red paint has rubbed off the swaybar and the dull spots on the exhaust. There is only like 1/2"-3/4" betwwen them. It is not causing any damage to either, but it is annoying as heck and makes the car sound like a peice!
Have any of you guys experienced this, and how should I remedy the problem? Thanks guys.

Remove the sway bar, run dumps, or raise the car a bit. Or maybe put some header wrap around the sway bar where it hits the catback so it wont be metal on metal.

Had the same problem with my Magnaflows (magnapacks) and the stock sway bar. I was able to adjust the tailpipe so it wouldn't hit but it was a PITA. You kind of have to find a balance of clearing the sway bar and the gas tank.

I had the same problem also, what i did with mine was heat up the exaust where it was hitting and tap it in with a hammer and that stopped it, it didnt affect the performance any either. The reason it hits is because u went from 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 and that one quarter makes a difference.

I had the same problem with my Magna's, so I took it back up there and they pushed the pipe back a little further from the swaybar and readjusted the tip to compensate. You can hardly tell a difference when looking at them from under, and it doesn't hit at all any more, even going slightly faster over speed bumps.

Now to take care of the insane mega pinging when accelorating. This new exhaust mangafies it to a very embarassing level. >_< :damnit: :damnit:
