Default Header clearance

Current choices are Hooker & Speed Engineering. But does anyone here have either of those installed? How is the clearance with a lowered car? Mine's lowered 2+in all the way around. If anyone has any other opinions on tight fitting headers, advice is appreciated! And I'm refraining from getting Kooks or ARH due to their cost.

I had pacesetter headers on my 00 SS and it's lowered about 2". I did have trouble with ground clearance in certain places. If you're careful you should be ok

Oh sorry, it's an '00 Formula WS6
Spoke with other people as well, and I've now narrowed my choices now to TSP or Speed Engineering. TSP's prices went back up to the $500+ range though, so I may go with SE, but we'll see.

Thank you sir.

Moved this from internal engine to external engine.

Agreed, TSP has nice exhaust options.

I have no clearance issues with the Speed Engineering 1 7/8" headers and I am lowered on Stranos. Good quality pieces too.

I've head nothing but good on the TSP 1 7/8's; therefore I think I've made my choice. Thanks guys.
