Fuji hitting b13 sway bar on b14-- assistence please
Hey, I have Steve Foltz b14 and I just put a 22 in. resonator on (before it had a 12inch). The installation looks clean (midas did it), but now all the sudden the fuji header is rubbing against the sway bar (mostly at low rpm intermittently).
Anyone have any suggestions at what might be causing this? When the car is up in the air it doesn't rub, so the guy there suggested raising the front suspension about 1/4 inch.
I thought pulling the exhaust back a little might help, but he didn't seem to think so.
I have/had the same problem. The exhaust doesn't hit with the wheels in the air, since the sway bar rotates a little with the weight off the suspension. I removed the secondaries, heated the area with a torch, and went to town with a hammer. Make sure to keep the area hot so it will bend, not crack, and remove the O2. It took a few tries at this, to keep it from hitting. It still hits a little if I back up a hill, but I don't do that often, so I'm happy. You close the exhaust off a little, but as long as it doesn't hit, I'm good. I did this with a B14 and a stock B14 bar. I tried a B13 bar, and it hit also.

I don't really want to take a hammer to a fujitsubo header. I'm just wondering why just adding a larger resonator would suddenly create this problem....
Yes, the work at the exhaust shop changed the angle. When I had a new cat back built, I worked with them to keep the header pipe as close to the middle of the sway bar hump as possible while welding and installing the rest of the exhaust.

with the larger resonator, more weight was added tio the exhaust as a whole moving the position of the header, hense the header hitting. i would take it to a muffler shop and reweld the hangers so it will clear, shouldnt be a hard job.

My Set Up:
Motec Exhaust*Walbro Header*MSD Rims*Jim Wolf Custom Paintjob*Injen Tires*Mugen Glove Compartment*MazdaSpeed Bridgeport*Edlebrock Exhaust Bearings*Calum Power Mirrors.
Damn My Sentra Hauls!!! 93 Whp of PAIN!!!
couldnt you just try some rubber hose....and wrap it around the sway bar...so when it hits....there no noise...and less damage?
im sure it will melt

I wraped that area with header wrap, and it didn't last long. The header is very close to the sway bar, so unless you have some very thin rubber, it will touch the pipe, and melt.
I'm guessing the ehxaust is held to the car with rubber hangars. Maybe the extra weight is stretching them out and some newer harder/shorter hangars would help.

The real problem is the header was designed for a P chassis, not a B chassis. Without ever looking, I'm guessing the G20/Primera sway bar has a different shape, and doesn't hit.
