There should be no problem with the stock rear anti-sway bar fitting properly. I have only heard about a problem with the whiteline sways fitting poorly with the N1 dual.

I'd judt go to a junkyard and buy the factory sway bar off an SE.

This is on the s14 right?

ST sway bars have problems clearing the dual N-1. I would assume whitelines do too.

either way, you may be able to shim them or something to get them to work properly...-chet

There is a clearance problem, but it's very minimal. A good friend of mine runs an N1 dual with the ST bar, just used a piece of heat warp around the bar to keep it from rattling.

yeah, only problem i heard of them having was that the exhaust and bar kept hitting each other while driving, especially in turns, making an obnoxcious noise.

R24ONA...did the heat wrap around the bar take car of all the noise issues?

Yes, it's fine. You could even wrap rubber hosing under the heatwrap first.

Nope. Underneath the heat wrap it's insulated, plus by the time it hits the swaybar it's much cooler than the manifold. Hangers are rubber, but they don't melt. Ah ha! Damn I feel silly today.
