Hi all,
Installed my ASR brace onto my EK1 (hatchback) but found there is very minimal room between the brace and the rear of the muffler to install the swaybar (EK9 22mm). Basically there is not enough space for the D-bracket to fit in between. Muffler is also OEM EK9.
*Rough measurements are 40mm gap between ASR and muffler.
*RSB D-bracket and bush height roughly 50mm
This is just an example pic of what I mean (not my car) mine probably has even less clearance
These reference pics give you an idea of how the muffler overlaps the RHS of the ASR brace (where the D-bracket sits) from the rear point of view
What options do I have here or how have people resolved this (EK hatch + ASR + OEM muffler).
Keeping in mind I do not want to cut the muffler or exhaust up. One thing I did notice is the exhaust hangers look a bit stretched, I believe the catback piping is being pulled towards the front of the car slightly (towards the collector on the headers).
Not sure by how much or if its significant enough to provide more swaybar clearance...
