My A'pexi WS cat-back sure as hell touches one of the endlink bolts to the 6th gen Si rear swaybar I put on my car. Even after trimming down the problem bolt, I've heard it stull rub on the exhaust piping at least twice that I know of. I covered the spot in some black galvanizing paint to match it in color (it's black) and also to seal it off since the metal was exposed. It also will let me see if it's still rubbing or not, which it still does sometimes.

As far as subframe tear-out, one measure you can make to prevent it is the have your swaybar mounting brackets WELDED to your frame once you get them bolted on. This add some strenghth to them, can't tell if it'll stop the tear out or not, but it'll lessen the chances of it.
