I am thinking about adding a rear sway bar to my '70 Challenger. 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.

I have both the FFI 3/4" rear bar and TTI 3" exhaust on my 70 Challenger. But I'm working in Mississippi and my car is back in Jacksonville. I'll dig for some pictures but it was a non-issue Awesome, thanks. I suppose even a little massaging of the exhaust wouldn't hurt too much that far back.

I have no problem with TTI 3" and a Hotchkis sway bar. 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.

Hi Ron,
The T/A exhaust was only for appearance and cosmetics to replicate side exhaust (really was not a good factory design performance wise)... there were other factory model e-bodies that had the rear sway bar with the factory rear exhaust over the differential... however, those were smaller diameter exhaust tubes (~2.5"?)

I think that the pipes that went over the axle were 2 1/4" but 2 1/5 before the muffler.
