NOTICE the end is facing down. You CAN face it UP and will still work but can and will hit.
i'll take a pic tmr n show u
is that you timmy?
yeah i forgot to ask if its on the right way. if it is try it upside down as well as that may help clear it of the axle back.
Ive seen people running the sway bar upside down and it doesnt make much of a difference. If anyone else knows if it makes a difference, please contribute.
also make sure you torque it up to the correct specs. specs can be found on asr website.

the d bracket is hitting the back of my muffler
had the exact same issue on my EK. The muffler was getting in the way of the D bracket, to fix the problem I had to switch to a smaller muffler.
you should go and consult an exhaust shop to ask if you can extend/mod the piping or have to replace the muffler.
yeah it hits i can hear it when i drive. it has like less than 1cm gap. anything i can put in between? how much would it cost to extend it?
no point putting something inbetween....just take it to a decent muffler shop and they should be able to weld up a slight pipe length , modify your hangers to suit and thats it. Shouldnt cost more than $80 or so done professionally. Just get it done and fixed :)
i did the dodgy fix and cable tied a rag to the d bracket. it fixed the problem and it stayed there for over a year!
