Default SLP header measurment

Does anyone have a clearance measurement from the ground to the lowest point on SLP's longtube headers? I know they hang lower than most, but on a car that is not lowered, I hear that there's no big issue. Thanks.

From what I have been told by SLP, you lose about 1 1/2 inches of ground clearence

It's an issue, but it's not really an issue. The first time you bottom out, you'll make some contact, but its not so bad. And I haven't rubbed any since that one time, so my accidental 'clearancing' seems to have fixed the problem. Now I have a small flat spot on the bottom of bottom-most primary on the passenger's side, but you really have to look to notice it.

I can't compare to any others because the SLPs are all I've ever run, but I love the quality, power, and sound the SLPs make. I think they're worth it (IMO).
