My del sol vtec rear sway bar rubbed on my greddy exhaust till i zip tied the rubber exhaust hangers to make them shorter. Kinda ghetto but it gave it just enough clearance that it doesnt rub anymore.

Hella crazy rub on my EG hatch. Drives one crazy!
I losen up all the bolts, loaded the suspension, the adjust the exhaust so that it would be farthest away from the sway.
Seemed to work except for when I was doing some CRAZY driving, then I just made stiffer hangers, a little shorter and it's all good now.

Heres a crazy idea. Reverse the sway bar and see. It happened to me, its easily overlooked. The way it bends, it way just look right, but it might not.

Even my stock exhaust rubbed on on si rear sway bar on my 99 hatchback. I wrapped the part of the swaybar that touches the exhaust with some cloth and then wrapped that in foil. Cheap and ghetto, but it worked to get rid of the noise
