Default What headers to buy??

Hey everyone Just trying to get an idea of what longtube header and ypipe has the best ground clearence? My SS has the slp/eibach lowering springs. I would like them to be either st/st or ceramic coated and also be a catted setup. My mods are in sig. I'm figuring with my recent cam install in the SS, it's in need of lt's badly.
Thanks

I'm running Pacesetters in a lowered TA but without cats. They tuck up nicely. I have lots of room for the exhaust but had to modify the Y-pipe a bit. Putting a catted Y on mine would be pretty tough and would cost me some ground clearance for sure.

I've got American Racing Headers long tubes and couldn't be any happier with them. Fit and finish is perfect and the install was very easy. The y-pipe is also very nice and the cats are a smaller diameter than most. They tuck up under there very nicely. I would recommend these to anyone and buy them again in a heartbeat. I post a shameless plug for those guys every chance I get.

Kooks and Kooks Catted Y. Great ground clearance and both stainless steel. That should match up with your GMMG nicely. Trust me, it sounds killer.

Kooks here. No clearance issues at all. Fitment is top notch. They do not hang any lower than my stock exhaust did.

QTP Headers. Makes the most power of any header period.

I am nothing but happy with my XS headers and Y! You should really give them a look, all thought they are no longer called XS.
