RSB quick question!

more info please
car year, lowered?, stock exhaust? How are you jacking it up
i can't even imagine how an aftermarket exhaust would create this situation... so must be how you are trying to jack it up...
exhaust to the left and right.... jacking point in the middle...
are you jacking from a different angle? should be directly behind the car, in the middle right? at least thats how i did it
only had a problem of it not lifting high enough... but thats a different topic

I found it much easier to put the rear up on ramps vice jacks since you can install the rsb under load. If you're skinny enough you can do it with the car sitting on the ground but clearance for your tools is an issue.

ummm why not use the jack points under the rear doors??? Jack one end up, put it on a stand then go do the same on the other side, done deal. None the less, you shouldn't be having a clearance issue with the rear jack point anyways.

Coming from experience I agree with gavinn58. Jack up the car and then place it on jack stands. It will be much more secure (in case the jack were to fail) and it will be easier to install.
I installed the Progress Rear Sway Bar myself. It took me a while but it's definitely doable.

If jacking the rear jack point can't get the rear of the car high enough to fit stands underneath, you can jack the front up first, put jackstands under the front, and then proceed to jack the rear up. The angle of the car with the front on stands makes the height of the door jack points higher, so you can fit stands underneath.

lol sorry guys, i was kind of in a hurry... it's not that i cant get the car high enough.. it's just that i'm unable to jack the car up at all...

i'm unable to jack up the car because the tip can't even reach the tow hook part... the jacks arm is making contact and i'ma fraid it might bend the pipe...

If you have a strut bar only and you noticed a difference...a sway bar will be extremely noticeable to you.
As for OP, I don't remember any "pipes" that would get in the way of your jack's arm. I can't imagine what purpose they'd serve. The only pipes I can think of would be the tow hook itself. That's where you're actually supposed to jack the car.
Or perhaps you're trying to use a cross member to jack the car up? I remember 07carbontsx putting a jackstand there just in case. In that case, you're definitely far from the jack point.
