Default Exhaust and swaybar question

I notice that my exhaust is pushed back about 2 inches when i put in my stock cat in. This causes my rear sway bar to hit my exhuast. Is there a difference b/t a coupe header and a hatchback one?? The exhasut is a SP2 for a 92-95 hatchback. Could it be i have the wrong header and that would trhow it off?

yes the header is the wrong one, the length of the header differs due to the length of the cat. are you running a Z6 cat? if not then you need to get one to fill the gap.

the hatch header a-pipe is usually shorter and the b-pipe is usually longer as well.

so are you running a hatch header and z6 piping?
