The swaybar DIY lost all of its photos to photobucket. I was wondering if on a stock X sedan if the factory exhaust needs to be dropped to install one of the larger OEM rear swaybars or if it could be wiggled around it. Anything to avoid touching exhaust bolts on a northeast car

To install a 370Z RSB on my X sedan a few bolts were removed and the factory exhaust had to be dropped slightly. I had mine installed at the time of a coilover install. The tech said it took him an extra 5 minutes to install the RSB. Sorry, I can't be of further technical assistance but I'm certain many here can.

There wasn't enough room for me to fish my bar out without dropping the exhaust. I would suggest you remove the rubber bushing hangers (mid pipe and mufflers) and lower the entire exhaust down as one.

i did mine last weekend, I installed Eibachs on my RWD sedan. you will have to drop the exhaust in the rear. There's not alot of room to wiggle it out and there's no way to take it out without doing so.. I tried not to drop it either but it was a fail. I also suggest popping the exhaust hangers off for the mid pipe to give you more clearance to remove the sway.

Pulling the hangers and dropping as one piece souds like a good idea. Otherwise I'd have to hit those bolts with penetrating oil every morning for a week

Does the RWD sedan come equipped with the larger factory swaybar and, if so, do you still have it?

Or unholy the whole hanger it's faster

The S sedan has the larger rear sway bar, not the vanilla sedan.

so, the RWD S sedan, all the coupes and 370z's use the same larger rear sway?

No. S coupes and sedans have the big rear sway bar. AWD models have the smallest rear bar and largest front bar. Standard coupes and sedans are intermediate to the extremes.

what about the 370z?

Also, do you know the mm width of the various bars?

370Z rear bar is the same as our Sport bar. They are all the same width, I'll have to dig through emails to find it.

good. the 370z bars seem easy to find as a junkyard part
