Sway Bar Question

[flaatr@yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

I have a Borla muffler and it's on the small side so interference is not an

Now the last, and originally the first question, are Autotech hollow bars 
and ADB hollow bars made by the same people and just branded differently or 
are they totally different but similar?
