Default 96-00 Hatchback guys- rear sway clearance for exhaust?

Hey folks,

I'm shopping for a new (quieter) exhaust and heard that some systems will have a clearance issue with a rear sway bar. I've got an ASR brace and a 22MM ITR bar in back that I want to keep. I'm leaning toward the Apexi WS2 or if i can scrape an extra $200, I'll get an RS*R Exmag. Anyone have any suggestions or knows if I’ll run into any problems with either of these exhausts? Know of any other systems that would bolt up with no problem?

i can shed a little light on this. I have stock exhaust, but i added a rear sway bar. The exhaust does clear, but when i hit corners i can hear it bang against the swar bar. thats all i have for ya man.

On my 96 hatch, I have the ASR brace with the ITR rear sway and it clears my RSR Ex-mag full stainless exhaust just fine.

That's a tight fit! I may just go that route.
