Hi

 

I'm In the final lap of getting this ready for the road and in my many excursions under the car I have noticed that there is only about 2-3 mill (about an 1/8 inch in the old money) between the exhaust pipe(s) and the sway bar.

 

Everything is standard and  some years ago I welded up the hole in the exhaust it had created during its life.  Its the bottom header pipe and that was the easiest option.  The only other way I can see is to remove the headers and do a bit of cut & shut work on the pipe to clear the sway bar but I don't really want to do this.

 

Has anyone else had this problem and more importantly is there is any way to fix it? 

 

cheers

Cast iron or tubular headers? Original sway bar or aftermarket? Pics????

yep....Genie extractors and K Mac bar.

 

A little fiddle fart around with the mounting and it doesn't touch / knock when driving.

Pics are only from the test fit day.

 

p.s - Having seen that other thread about squashing pipes ( admittedly the single pipes from memory).. you could always massage the collectory bit?

Space the mount. You seem to have plenty of thread on those bolts.
