Default ITR Sway bar hitting RSR exhaust on ek!

Hey i just installed a 22mm ITR rear sway bar on my 97 ek with an RSR ex mag axle back. I used the asr brace kit and the sway bar is sitting on the rsr's exhaust pipe. I also have function7 adjustable endlinks and have tried adjusting all the way up and down but the bar still sits right on the exhaust. What do you all suggest doing to solve this? The rsr's fitament with the bumper is so tight I dont think a shorter exhaust hanger would fix anything...I love the way it sounds so I dont want to change to something else. Let me know some of your ideas!

Cut the section of the exhaust piping hitting the sway bar and weld in a more bent piece.

Im running into the same problem on my EM1.
I cant get shorter hangers cause then the exhaust will hit my OEM rear lip.
I have maybe 2-3mm between the exhaust tip and my rear lip. My sway right now is a couple mm above the exhaust and when cold, it will come in contact with the rear sway.

I moved the rear sway as low as possible but sometimes, it still touches the exhaust.

Think the sway bar being upside down has anything to do with all this?

Yes, if it's upside down, it will hit. The sway bar should go down from the subframe and up and over the LCA.
