Exclamation XO2 exhaust install- right side touching sway bar and ras

Can anyone put some input on this?????

I just got the XO2 exhaust over the weekend and went to install today at work. Everything was fitting fine until it got to the end. The right side seems to be touching the sway bar and my RAS. Anyone who has this same exact exhaust with RAS on their cars, how did you guys manage to have clearance?

I need to know this ASAP. I can't be driving and find out I broke my swaybar and messed up my RAS. Thanks to those who help!

Yeah. Only reason why its touching the sway bar is due to the RAS. If I didn't have that, I wouldn't have a simple problem installing this.

yeah, take it to an exhaust shop and see if they can't bend the pipe for you.

Hmm..
Anyone else who actually does have RAS on their have any input on this? We can't be left SOL on this because of that one part on our cars!

edit:
How are the extensions suppose go on? Is there a certain way to put it on so it'll match everything up?

His problems do not apply to you because you do not have RAS.
