i just installed my itr sway this weekend with the BSQ kit...i love the way it feels, except now, i get a horrible rattle becuase the exhaust is resting on top of the bar. has anyone encountered this problem? i have it zip-tied for the time being, but i dont like ghetto rigging stuff on my car.

i supposed the only fix is a new axle back (or cat back), which i dont mind upgrading, but i dont want to buy one and have it do the same thing. If anyone has any insight on this problem, i would certainly appreciate it...or if someone would like to reccommend a good exhaust, axle-back or cat-back, that is not too obnoxious, that would be great. thanks

 

i have the same set-up on my car with no problems. make sure u have all the rubber hangers in place.

 

hmmm...i have all the hangers in place, i dont know what would make ours different

 

Not to be an ahole, but by chance are you sure that it isn't backwards?

thats what i was thinking in mind..
haha..

 

heh, no, sorry not backwards, i am pretty methodical when it comes to installing suspension parts, or any part for that matter...so i guess i am the only person that this has happened to...

btw, installing this bar is such a pain in the *** without taking off the itr muffler, because of its massive chamber theres not a lot of space to work with on the exhaust side

how's that possible? when i installed mine by myself i had no trouble whatsoever... um.. man.. you should really double check with that.. just my .02

 

yeah dude, the sway bar sits in the exact same position as the gsr sway bar so something must be messed up. Post a picture of under the car.

 

I also have the same setup, but I don't have any problems with rattling or antyhing.

 

Are you sure all of the hangers are on correct??? Or any of the rubber parts are not broken???

You could allways bend the hangers to get the clearance you need.

 

Make sure that the swaybar isn't installed upside down. Compare you swaybar to the picture below. Notice how the swaybar bends down.

Sup BSQ.. bought the kit from you ship to Vancouver Canada while back
Great guy.~~

 

I dunno, I found it much easier just to unbolt the rear section of the exhaust when installing my swaybar. I did the same thing again when I swapped the BSQ kit out for my current Beaks mount kit.

My swaybar comes nowhere near my stock GS-R muffler. I couldn't imagine the ITR's pipe is routed much different. Sure it's a touch larger, but not enough to make a difference.

I say you check it again and make sure it's not on upside-down. It can easily be installed both ways, and upside-down will give you nasty muffler contact if using stock mufflers.

Have a look, you can see the bar is supposed to go down to clear the muffler then back up. You should have plenty of clearance if it's installed correctly:




*edit* oh heh sorry Bret didn't see your post here... not dissin your product, I just happened to have ~$60 sitting in PayPal one time and just decided to blow it on the Beaks kit.

 

i just installed my itr sway bar just today with BSQ's kit (btw thanks BSQ). i am running all itr hardware with the kit and i am currently running an rsr exhaust and had no problems installing the kit with my muffler still intact. just make sure to check if it is backwards cause when i first put my sway in, i put it backwards and 5 minutes later i realized that it was the wrong way. good luck man.

 

your swaybars on upside down.

 

i would also make sure your rubber hangers aren't stretched. they can get that way after a while. you can get new ones anywhere for a couple bucks.
