Default LSI f body long tube headers

I have an 02 z28 with SLP long tube headers and i hate them. They sit extremely low in my opinion. I'd like my car to sit as low as possible without scrapping everywhere i go. Is there a header that i can get that will be more tucked away or are all the aftermarket headers pretty the same dimensions?

According to the Induction and Exhaust sticky, Here,
If you plan to lower or are lowered then any long tube other then SLP will tuck pretty nicely.

That's crazy how low they are sitting! Are they hitting the trans crossmember?

I just installed speed engineering 1 7/8" headers last night along with poly motor mounts. I'm very impressed how close they tuck to the underbody vs. My old slps that I had years ago. I don't have the y-pipe finished yet, but so far the quality of fitment is the best I've seen. I will try to post pictures for you when I'm done because my car is lowered quite a bit. I think it's 2" but not sure because it was lowered when I bought it, but it's very low in my opinion.

The old SLP's do sit very low. Our TSP headers tuck up really tight. So tight that we recommend poly motor mounts to keep them from hitting the floor pan. That being said, after seeing how low your car is, I think what would be best for you is Hooker's Blackheart mid length headers for ultimate ground clearance.

My speed engineering 1 7/8" tucked up extremely well. Just finished up today. It couldn't get much tighter on clearance. I highly recommend poly mounts. Check it out, my car is also lowered.



Front to the right. Slp loudmouth muffler sits lower than the headers and ypipe lol
