Sorry.
I don't have pics of mine.
I'll try to get some pics of where it should go and the problem you may run into tonight

Ok. Here's a pic of under the car.
The red arrows indicate where the lower tie bar has to be bolted
The yellow lines indicate where the tie bar will come across
Although I have an aftermarket exhaust, the bends are in the stock location
so I can still use the stock hangers.
Because of this, the exhaust is not low enough not to hit against the tie bar.
Also you can see the hanger will be in the way.

This is the tie bar I used

If you remove that one hanger in the pic, you shold be able to mount it. But your exhaust has to be lower than normal. Otherwise it will rub, hit the tie bar.

Sorry to bring up an old post, but when you guys installed your Tie bars, did you adjust them to pull tightly on the bolts towards the center of the tie bar, or did you extend them as much as possible to push towards the extremeties of the car?
