Default Headers ground clearance

Guys,

Which between these 3 has the best ground clearance.

-Pacesetter
-Flowtech
-Hooker

They will be on a true-duals setup, so i'm looking for the best ground clearance (even if ti's 1/8 of diffrence it counts), and if they are all the same, then easiest installation and way to customize the exhaust behind them, because they are not all the same in design, so some might give a ehadhacke to fit in.

Thanks.

+5 Pacesetters, because of the ease of installation and I haven't scraped them, yet.

My hookers seemed to hang low, but never scraped. I would have to say that pacesetters have always appeared to have better clearance. Just depends on what you are installing them on.

my pacesetters tuck good too. y-pipe hangs lower than the headers. only ones that really suck ***** for ground clearance are the SLPs.

I'm really low and the pacesetters are fine. I've been through a few y pipes and had to modify one to get some clearance but the headers never scrape.

I thought you were trying to get at your heads are milled so much that it was gonna start causing clearance problems!!!!
