2k1 muffler fitment issue

I know several people had this muffler installed successfully. However the ST rear sway bar was in the way when trying to install it. How would I best solve this problem? It's the dual tip model.

It'd still be in the way after putting it back on.

Get a different muffler?
Like a flowmaster, magnaflow, dynomax etc.
Ok so it's a little self serving
I sell exhaust too

Let me know if it's 2.5 cuase then I GOTTA get one. I'm still not happy with the sound mine makes. I REALLY want it quiet unless I'm ASKING for the noise with my right foot.

The inlet on the 2k-2k1 mufflers is small- i want to say its about 2". Fitment should not be an issue- the inlet is the same height as the stock muffler, its just off center. A custom pipe will need to be bent and welded on, of course- it wont fit with the stock piping, or even a WSP B-pipe unless they custom bend it for you.

I dont have any fitment issues with a custom bent 2.5" exhaust + 2k muffler and my Addco RSB.

Gotta agree w/ internetautomar on this one. Just get a magnaflow or dynomax in the biggest size that will fit. Heard that variable valve it has is a joke anyways.
