Default HELP with exhaust and rear sway bar!

OK so I bought this 2.5 SS exhaust from ebay. Welds look great and the overall finish of the exhaust really impressed me. As soon as I got it out of the box I realized I needed to make an extension pipe for it to reach the header (no problem, I guess) but then, when I started installing it, it doesn't seem to be designed to fit in a Civic that has a rear sway bar.

I have a 93 HB CX, with rear GSR control arms and sway bar, and I don't see how can I fit the exhaust since the last part (the muffler part) hits the sway bar just behind the sway bar link.

Anyone know anything about this? or have had this problem?

Any help would be great, pictures and stuff.

Thanks in advance.

Do you have pictures of your piping? Please that would help. I just removed the rear sway bar to fit the catback. It also hit my shift lever, I had to grind the excess material they leave after the welds in the hangers.

I'm also thinking about relocating the rear sway bar, maybe lowering it a bit with a self-made bracket or something.
