Wrap the crosspipe in header wrap or some of that Thermo-Tec insulating tape (on the swaybar side), no problems then. Easy fix and it will help spool faster too. It's not like those temps are going to make the swaybar lose its temper or anything, maybe damage the bushings over time.

the sway bar is that close to it in the air so when its on the ground would it lean on the crosspipe drasticly?

Depends what you want the car for....Mostly straight line, then just lose the sway bar.... If you like the curves, you might want to re-do that section of hot-pipe.....

Hard to say... it always costs more than if you could do it yourself... but it cant imagine it would be terrible to just get a little more room...

I'd test it first by putting it down on the ground. That section of a swaybar doesn't generally move front-to-back at all, it twists while the bar stays in place.
