HKS hi power exhaust + Hotchkis sway bars?
 
Can anyone with both of these comment on fitment and/or any issues with the rear sway bars? More specifically, I'm wondering if the HKS exhaust rattles or has issues with the rear sway bars under various driving conditions?
I currently have the CNT exhaust and the rattle that's created by it hitting the hotchkis sway bar bothers me too much.

Get some washers to put on the exhaust hanger bolts above the hangers to drop them down some. This will build a gap between the sway bars and exhaust pipes.

Took a look and while this will get rid of the rattle, it ruins the look (for me personally).

I was only kind of eyeballing it, but adding the washers to clear the sway would lower the exhaust by about 4-5 mm. I wouldn't want it to sit that low - just my personal preference.

The pic is how it currently sits (w/o the washers)
