Default EK Owners with Hytech?

First off - Am I the only one with this exhaust on a Hatch?

If there is another person with a Hytech twin loop, are you able to run a rear sway bar and which one?

I am seeing some major clearance issues right now and I do NOT want to make a choice between handling and this exhaust. I am thrilled with the exhaust and I paid out the butt for it, but my car is handling like poop without a rear sway.

I currently do not have a rear sway. The clearance issue will determine which one I can run on it.

Hoping someone is out there who has resolved this problem.

No help on this one ehh? Guess I will be figuring it out on my own. I post what I end up doing in case anyone cares.

What kind of sway bar are you looking into?
The honda one should fit off the SI, in theory your twin loop must be clost to the Mugen one.

I am looking into an ITR bar. Originally, I wanted the Comptech, but I cannot justify the added cost of it. I have talked to coupe owners that have had no problems running this exhaust and 22mm sway bars, but the length of the hatch brings some problems.

I have an Si Bar lying around and I tried to see if it would fit, but there is no room. The problem is where the exhaust has the twin loop portion. The loop comes very close to the LCA and there is no room for the sway bar between them.

As much as I hat to modify such an expensive exhaust, I think I am going to extend it so it sits farther back on the car. Hopefully this will allow enough room for the sway bar to fit.
