Default TR6060 conversion and rear sway bar issue...

So I did the TR6060 conversion (C6 Trans, Diff and Cradle). Went to put the rear sway bar on and have this issue (see pic). Do I have to use a different (C6?) rear sway bar or maybe a different design?

It is hitting the muffler and is also unable to move freely on that side...

Is your muffler falling off the car? That is not where mufflers go on a C5. The sway bars are interchangeable between C5 and 6 so that's not the problem. I can't imagine why your exhaust is that low AND that far forward??? It should be tucked up behind the bumper cover.

Ha my bad, the angle of the pic makes it look that way lol it is indeed under the bumper and you can't see it unless you look under her rear bumper

Well, the issue was not as bad more like my error. The exhaust was pushed too far in so just a little adjustment outwards and its all good now!

Which control arms / suspension did you go with? This doesn't affect the original question, just curious where the center line for the rear wheels is going to end up.
