I have heard mixed reviews, some say they have no issues but a lot of people say that with anything other than OE or Comptech exhaust you will have vibration/rubbing issues if your car is lowered or in cornering. I have the Comptech rear sway bar but OE exhaust so I can't comment on the situation myself even though my car is lowered. This is probably one of those "conflict will vary from application to application" type of issues, since everyone's car sits at a different height and everyone's driving style may or may not amplify the issue.

I have the progress RSB too with my Evo2.. plus it has 2 stiffness settings.. heard its even thicker then the comptech. However this debating about why go with another brand because "everyone" thinks comptech is superior in quality but you pay a high price..

The comptech touches the Evo2 exhaust.. thats the biggest problem however is there a resolution you need to search that.. maybe Noel can clarify this again..

?

If something is superior in quality, typically it is higher in price. That is where the expression "you get what you pay for" comes from.

I paid $120 for my Comptech rear sway bar... hardly a "high price" from my perspective. It gave me an excellent handling upgrade and I doubt that the Progress bar's adjustability would be a determining factor since 99% of the TSX owners on this site never drive their car harder than a soccer Mom looking for a parking spot at a shopping mall.

LOL its like saying for a female about LV and Coach, they are still purses one is just more established as a brand therefore the higher price.. and I guess it depends on the person if they want a really stiff ride or not.. being considerate to your loved ones is something some people do not consider... (I know a few) lol... but if not then I think you should get an Evo2 Exhaust... try the Comptech Exhaust which has no problems at all.

Same here.. maybe he just doesnt like it.. but I dont see a major difference in look or performance other then the brand name.. lol....

some have even said that the progress RSB is thicker and has more settings.. yes I know why would you want a softer setting lol.. but thats not the point.. its the choice...

Its mainly becasue of the left exhaust is connected at a point near the sway bar you have to shift it away from the swaybar or you will get alot of noise.

Like with comptech ehaders you lose an inch on the front end of the exhaust system. So the rattle on the exhaust is common because if you look at the back that point where the left catback is sitting under the sway bar. Have the exhaust lowered or shift foward and it should be find.

That would be a difference in look and performance.

^^ Well then he'd be contridicting himself saying he doesnt like the progress since its thicker and has more settings which makes it better.. according to those 2 points.. not saying its better thou since i never owned a comptech RSB and never will since i have the evo2
