Header question
Has anyone ever done longtubes on an extremely lowered 4th gen? I have the Eibach sportlines with the y2k vette rims 17's & 18's...
header brands?
header ground clearance?
thnx David

I have the Pacesetter longtubes and they tuck up pretty tight to the floorboard(the y-pipe will hit on occasion). But I don't think I would try any longtube headers on a lowered car knowing what the roads and parking lots are like in my area.

Iv got FLP longtubes and the eibach pro-kit for the ls1 on my lt1 so its lowered about 1.5 in the front and 1.3 in the rear... i dont hit at all as long as i go diagonal over a speed bump and as long as its not too big... other than that, normal driving.. no probs...

You are brave sporting the 16's ...I had the slp drive shaft safety loop while I had 16's and I would scrape a lot, I actually got kind of stuck on a speed bump once and had to make my friend get out of the car so I could get over it more easily! ..lol (Also I have the ls1 sportlines on an lt1 which makes it a little lower) but after I put the vette rims on it wasn't too bad
So pace setters are the headers that tuck/have the best ground clearance? If so where would be the most affordable place/website to order them from?

Wheel size shouldn't make any difference since a 26" tall tire is the same height no matter what the wheel size is. But obviously the sidewall height is different and bigger wheels with smaller profile tires won't flex as much. I have speedbumps at work and some big curbs in the parking lots around here so I would never lower my car especially with longtubes. If you don't drive your car very often then it might not be a big deal to go over speedbumps at an angle.
