ST rear sway bar fit with exhaust?

[kiakarimi]

I have heard really good things about the suspension techniques sway bar's performance but i have heard it doesn't work with a number of aftermarket exhausts. I Have an RNR 2.5" Turbo back on my 97 GSX. does anyone have any experience or even a guess as to whether or not it will work? Also does the RMDSM sway perform as well as the ST bar?

I've been told that ST bars do not fit with an HKS HiPer 3"... However, that's what I have and the fit is fine. Does your exhaust go above or below the crossmember?

With a 2.5" you shouldn't have any problems unless the catback is a very weird shape.

Its below the crossmember. Also, if i want my car to have a slight tendency to oversteer rather than understeer, i want to keep the front sway stock right?

Just an update, i got the ST rear sway and it DOES NOT fit with my rnr 2.5" exhaust. i have no idea why, but it won't go above or below, i tried everything. so for now i just have the exhuast hanging really low below the sway bar held up by one VERY stretched hanger. If anyone had similar experience or any ideas let me know. Thanks.

The RM should work just fine. . .

I have the ST rear sway bar and my Buschur 2.5 bolts up fine.

Bringing up an old thread instead of starting a new one. I'm looking into a sway bar for my Talon so the tires will stay on the ground. Just looking for the rear. I see the ST bar doesn't like large exhausts. I have the Apexi N1 3" Will the RM racing rear sway bar (for AWD) fit with no issues?

Bringing this back too. All the threads I see for the ST bar is for 2g. Does it clear a 3"1g awd exhaust?

I have the ST Bars front and rear… They clear my 3” exhaust with no problems.

In the back there is really no issue since the bars are mounted so far up:

In the front there could be an issue depending on how your downpipe/turbo mounting are set up.

Mine is a E316G/2G manifold and fits great with either the 2.5” DP in the Pics and with the new 3” DP that I just installed, you can see the possible clearance issues...but if you needed more room you could install more spacer to move the bar down further, mine fits fine in the original mounting points:
