Default Headers 4 lowered car.

I'm tossing around the idea of getting headers for my car. I was looking at the Pacesetters and catted y pipe. My car is lowered an inch with Hotchkis springs and was wondering what headers won't give me major clearence problems. Also, what does an instal usually run price wise?

I have Jet-Hots and Hotchkis springs with true duals, Daily driver. It only scrapes on really big speed bumps. I dont think its a problem.

FLP's tuck nicely. Also depends on how much drop you are looking at going with.

Kooks work great for a lowered car.

Kooks headers and y-pipe have tucked in nicer than anything I've seen, this was even a catted-y setup. They are clearanced to fit under the chassis brace under the driverside floor board. This is the point where all clearance goes to ****.

I love these posts. I have the Pacestters LT's with ORY. I GAINED 3/4 in ground clearence under the driver seat with the install. The price can go from 350 up to as high as 600 (thats crazy high). I am in the Carolinas, they wanted 400-450 down here. Was a little worried going in, but looking back, I'd do it all over again. My wife and I did it in 9 hours first time. Good luck
