what headers can I put on a lowered car? My car is lowered with a prokit and I was wondering what headers I could put on and still drive the car. I have SLPs larger ypipe so clearance is already a issue. I want to keep cats because I couldn't handle the GMMG without them. Some pics of my car are below to give you a idea ho low were talkin here. I already know that I cant even look at SLPs header because they hang to low so say your time.
P.S. this is not my daily drive so that will help some
thanks Bill

I have QTP LT's on my lowered TA. I also have the Eibach ProKit. With my custom oval Y-pipe my lowest clearance point on the entire system is 3 1/4 inches. The lowest header clearance spot is about 3 1/2 inches.

Most headers other than SLP's tuck up pretty well, the problem is the Y-pipe more specifically the drivers side hanging down pretty low, I'm in the same boat , I need headers but I'm lowered a good 1.5" , the options are looking kind of bleak.That includes using Mac's.

Yea the only thing you have to worry about is the Y. It will scrape going over bumps and steep entrances. Good luck man, I would defiantly agree on getting LT's though.

Check out Kooks. There headers tuck up nicely - same as the QTPs, but their ypipe is flattened a little bit on the drivers side - not like the stock one, but just a bit so there is clearance.

I've had FLP's on my T/A with Eibach Pro, and they cleared OK, kept scraping the ring connectors on the y-pipe more than anything. I now have Stainless Works headers, and the clearance is even better. Check them out, price is great and fitment is awesome.

my pacesetters have plenty of clearance. But as said above any of the newer LT headers will tuck up pretty well. SLP's are the only ones I've ever heard much of a problem with.

I can tell you from personal experience that the SLP LTs suck for ground clearance...I scrape everywhere. I have the Bilstein susp. option on my SS, so I'm lowered about an inch...these damn things scrape everywhere. I used to defend them, but after the scraping and poor performance, I'm changing my tune. I'm gonna change to kooks.
