Default LPP Ground Clearance?

Since the big LPP thread apparently got killed, I can't seem to find too much info on the LPP headers, like ground clearance pics/info for instance. How does the ground clearance of the LPP headers compare to other longtube headers like Pacesetter, Hooker, etc.? Does anyone have any ground clearance pics on a slightly lowered car (I have Konis w/ stock springs on the lower perch up front, and hose mod out back).

They should offer the same clearance as Kooks. I would guess Kooks probably have the best clearance of any widely available LT1 header.

Tons of ground clearance on my Gen I LPPs. Much better than my Hookers.

The ground clearance seems good on mine. I went off of a "standard" curb yesterday, and just nicked the brace for my tunnel mount torque arm. Headers are clearing just fine...but I'm at stock height. With the crappy roads in my area, I'd worry about lowering it.

The roads are absolute garbage out here, and I have many large speed bumps in my condo complex. It's for a daily driver. I originally wanted to do midlength headers, but the ports on the RK Sports don't line up with the exhaust ports on the ported heads I have and the AS&M headers which should line up properly seem to be very difficult to find. I've got a set of LPPs on the way and since they seem to tuck up much nicer than the Hooker LTs I've had in the past I don't think I'll have too many problems if I'm careful.

look at my coke can picture. there's not a lot of room with the lpp's.

having said that, my torque arm mount is lower and that's what usually hits every speed bump.
