I'm putting the exhaust under it. This guy runs a 3" exhaust. He runs a 4-link, and it takes up the same physical space. I running a Magnaflow 3" exhaust kit with the X-pipe.

i heard through the grapevine that TCP is planning on selling pre-bent tail pipes for the G-Bar kits. it can be done but i think it depends a lot on how low the car is, if it'a only a inch or maybe two below stock ride height it should work fine lower than that and i don't think there would be any way to make rear exit exhaust work unless you run it under the axle.
i should be ok when i do my cougar though since i have about 4-5" more room than a mustang would. this is the same system i've been posting everywhere for a few weeks now.
i plan on going with the base kit as well with the poly bushings and probably the link end sway bar and not the high dollar bar.
i had an idea for this system as well to make a 3 link/torque arm system from it by deleting the upper links and adding one of the TCP torque arms with the x-cage subframe kit and either a Fays2 or Evolution watt's link. i think it would work well, at least on the cougar, i'm not sure it would work as well on a stang though. i'll have to do some measuring once i get the cougar and start working on it and of course after i get the G-Bar system installed, i'd really like to see if it would work as a future upgrade but i'll be using the g-bar as is for quite a while though.

I will eventually have this kit as well. I like the high dollar sway bar option because it will leave more room behind the axle for my EFI pump and filter. I originally have interest in the middle kit but the more I think about it the more I am leaning towards the basic kit for the reason Pete said. There is very small benefits for my application with spherical joints, probably not even enough to tell the difference. There is someone on another forum that ran the exhaust over the axle but on the outside of the coil overs. It looks like it would work well.
actually the torque arm on the RRS system is way too long, it's better now that they've changed the front pivot point to a sperical link instead of the poly bushing they had before but it's still long and doesn't have enough movement at the front to realy prevent bind, even with the new link. personally, i think it's a pretty poor design, it was a good idea but the execution was flawed.
a shorter torque arm would be better and would actually work more like a 3 link the way i described it. like i said though i'd have to do a lot of measuring to make sure the geometry would work right and to be honest i'd have to buy a chassis/suspension book to make sure all the calculations were right.
the lower links and the torque arm are fighting over just about everything. with the TCP torque link and their G-Bar the lower links and the torque link are very close to the same length so they won't be fighting over things like instant center and stuff. i've also thought about making more a true 3 link with it as well, just add the third link to the top of the diff and connect it where the connect the upper links on the G-Bar, it would be a short 3rd link but would in reality be very close to what the 05 mustangs have, not that is optimimum by any means but for a purely street car it's not a bad compromise.
it would work well for drag racing especially on a street/strip car, if it's adedicated drag car you might be better off with a parallel 4 link, don't get a street rod rod type 4-bar though, they don't have the adjustments you'll need to get the car launching right.
On a street strip car, how would this 4 link compare to a setup like this:
Maier 165 leafsprings
Strange adjustable shocks
Caltracs or Comp engineering slide-a-links
New bushings, shackles, etc
depends on what you want, but for most cases the TCP is miles ahead of a stock buggy sprung (that's leaf spring but in 1800's talk, Hehe) suspension. yes a leaf spring is basically identical to what any old civil war era horse drawn buggy would have, but with shock absorbers nowadays.
I know that a dedicated 4 link is far superior to all ( In a Drag situation). There adjustability is endless. but there are alot of stock suspensioned fox bodied mustangs going very fast on there stock styled setups, just wanted opinions on the tcp setup, not what was better or worse then the tcp set up. Any opinions on power levels with the tcp 4 link. Hey Reenmachine, opinions? on all of this
