Youd probably only have problems with the SLP LTs. as far as I know any other LT will tuck fine

If you are going to do headers, you might as well put longtubes on it. If you have the Sportline springs, personally I'd sell those and get the Prokit so it'd give you some clearance. The Sportlines sit the car too low IMO. Lots of guys run the Prokit with longtubes. It depends on how much you want to spend for headers. Coated pacsetters are very popular and right at $400.

I have a prokit 1.5 in. drop and pacesetter lts. also 3 in. h-pipe I do scrape on some speed bumps no matter how slow I go. Some steep drops like out of a parking lot would probably scrape too if your not careful but its not real bad mine are in great shape and I love them. Go for it.

Pacesetter headers and thier ORY actually hug the floor pan closer then the stock exhaust.
