Always heard that the QTP's tuck up really nice.

Sportlines though, thats a pretty decent drop...but you will be ok.

Sorry no pics either. Maybe LS1sounds?

QTPs tuck up great. If you want I'll take a pic tomorrow and post it up. They don't hang down low at all. There is a piece of metal that hangs down on the passanger side and the header hangs just a tinny bit lower than that part. The metal part I'm talking about has a large hole in it

I found this pic in my old stuff. The ORY is unbolted close to the Y merge, so it's drooping a bit, but as you can see, the LT collectors tuck up nice- they're much higher than any other exhaust item.

My QTPs tucked up real nice. They were higher than the lowest part of the undercarriage. I found there is no way to get the y-pipe to fit without loosing a little clearance, but, the LTs are great. I think the tow hooks, under the unibody rails, hang about as low, if memory serves...

Mid-lengths may be worth considering if you are dropping a whole lot. I don' t think you would would give up that much power, depending on your mods'.

you can see they tuck up quite well, and aren't very hard to install, even though my friend matt as shown wasn't having much fun! lol

edit: here is a pic of the duals i put up as well, dont put duals out of your mind they are pretty feasible (bout 700 for mine fully welded) and sound great! and add great power!

I can tell you why he wasn't having any fun, you have him on the ground


here are some pics of mine. I just went out and took them. I don't scrap on anything and they tuck up real nice. Soon I'll have a set of duals, well I hope it's soon

SLPSS9723,

Nice pics. I think I am going to have to get a set.

Now does any know how they stack against Kooks? As far as HP

Thanks,
Kevin

The headers tuck up great, but the y-pipe is a different story, and I'm yet to get mine perfect after much adjusting. Which is evident from the attatched picture.

they are just as good as kooks, and now that they ALL come with the high velocity merge collector, unlike mine... they are better in my opinion than kooks.

They are top of the food chain for long tube headers... plain and simple.
