Trying to figure something out in contrast to Stillen sways. Let me know if you have this setup installed.

My buddy had the hotchkis on his G with the Fujimosu? (spelling) cat back and they worked fine. Im not sure if there would be problems with other exhaust setups but I know this one worked fine.

The Stillen rear sway and FI exhaust just will not get along.

I have to hear then hitting each other all the time.

No knocking? I have no clearance on the passenger side. Top of exhaust is hitting the bottom of the rear sway, a lot.

If anyone could snap a pic it would be a HUGE help. After all, that's what the forums are for, right?

Would love to see specifically the way the Hotchkis rear bar lifts over the passenger side pipe of the FI Intimidator exhaust. Just to see exactly what kind of clearance there is.

The Stillen has about 1/2 to 1/4 inch clearance, tops. So, it hits the exhaust pipe a lot.

I have the same setup. No issue what so ever.

I do have some clunking when I go over a bump at highway speeds but I'm pretty sure its because I haven't adjusted my rear shocks according to the change in rear spring height (lowered).

I haven't checked how much clearance there really is but now that you got me curious, I'll snap some pics when I have the time.
