Default 3.5 RK and Dynomax Exhaust Questions

So I just Installed the RK 3.5 X Factory and I have a Dyno Max Rock Crawler exhaust. I have not relocated the rear sway bars back an inch yet, because it looks like the horizontal part of the bar is going to hit the drop tube of the exhaust.
Any one combined these two parts and any pics or solutions? I'm thinking I might have 2 options Antirock or chop the exhaust pipe at the muffler like EVO does.

1 more thought....the brakelines are loooong! How are folks routing them or where are you zip tieing them so they don't rub or get hung up on brush?

Thanks in advance!

The concern is it looks like the sway bar will just barely touch the pipe, but with exhaust vibrations it will vibrate like crazy. The sway bar will get moved back where the frame drops just a hair.

Also the raised axle side track bar bracket is real close to the pipe. If the driver side flex's up ....pretty sure it will contact it.

Pretty nice to have a Dynomax guy looking at this. Thanks!

I have the same problem but with the mbrp offroad exhaust, mine makes contact in both areas, like in your pic. I figured I would have to cut the tail pipe before the axle and do some sort of elbow down?? Thanks

This is one option to address this on this specific suspension, unfortunately for us, we can't fit our exhaust on all the available suspensions that are out there.
If this isn't something you want to do, take advantage of our 90 day Performance and Sound Guarantee. Again sorry for the inconvenience.

Also as Imposter hinted at the EVO crew modify our system and do a pre axle dump. This system, We are calling the Evolution Competition System, should (key word should) be available April 2012 as well.

I did pre-axle dump as well. You cant expect Dynomax or any other manufacturer to account for every system and set-up we do to these jeeps.

$70 for the muffler and some welding and it wont hit anything.

Thanks for the tips
As the pics show I already have the muffler and exhaust from Dyno Max.
No promo needed.

Do you have to add a hanger behind the muffler to support it? Seems like I would need extra support.
Need better pics of EVO's setup!!
