Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Removing my rear stabilizer bar!?

    I wanted to purchase the magnaflow cat back but it says it only works for the sedans without rear stabilizer bar, if I were to take off how extreme of a difference would it make. I don't want to gain a ton of body roll from it, or should I be fine?

    Front wheel drive cars benefit heavily from having a rear sway bar. In the case of the Accord, the ones that come on the EX/SE are small enough to not really be heavily noticed, but they are certainly an upgrade. However, I would never completely remove the one that's in place unless I was replacing it with an aftermarket part.

    All this said, I'm not sure of the validity of the Magnaflow claim. It could be true, and it could also be something that could be adjusted with the hanger length. Not sure.

    Also, a Progress rear bar is just a nice modification to do, anyway. So, if you're set on the Magnaflow, maybe see if you can swing both.
    My Members' Ride Thread - It's a marathon build, not a sprint. But keep me honest on the update frequency!

      It actually installs fine without hitting the bar (factory). HOWEVER I have heard of some people saying it doesn't... again, heard, not actually seen the issue.
      Aftermarket bars, same thing.

      I'm currently running the Magnaflow system. Biggest complaint is the low frequency drone at cruising speed (45 and up). Still tinkering with things myself to kill that.

        Sorry for the crazy late response. Just wanted to close out some old threads. So I installed the catback, it fits but it does vibrate a little on the sway bar. But now that I've changed out some bushings and hangers, haven't heard it since! Also I went from straight pipe to this so the drone is near gone for me!

          Unless they've changed the exhaust system, I do not see an issue with the fit.

          Is this the oval shaped tip one? Almost 15 years ago I helped install one onto my best friend's wife's 1990 EX with the OEM rear sway bar and we never had an issue with contact.
