It looks like it will be awfully tight, I assume the bar would have to go between the exhaust and the body/frame. Has anyone added a rear bar with 3" (TTI) exhaust? Did you have to modify anything? I am looking at the Firm feel setup, as I like the factory style setup. http://www.firmfeel.com/e_body_mopar_rear_sway_bar.html Pics would be great.

Here is the direct link http://www.ttiexhaust.com/Footnotes/FN_18.htm http://www.ttiexhaust.com/MoparClassics-Exhaust/Exhaust_Syst_HW.htm note says it won't work with the Firm Feel

"TTi tailpipes will clear the factory rear sway bars or equivalent style aftermarket designs." " (!) Tailpipes will not clear aftermarket sway bars that are mounted above and forward of the rear axle." "Tailpipe will not clear the FFI swaybar."

I suppose even a little massaging of the exhaust wouldn't hurt too much that far back.

I think the Hotchkis hangs below the axle so it wouldn't have the same issue as a factory style setup, where you have the exhaust up and over the axle and the sway bar in that area too. The T/A exhaust makes a lot more sense now.
