My American Racing Headers got here (pix) The parts for my upgrade are finally showing up!
I picked the ARH based on the reviews I've seen here. I have a set of Intrax 2" lowering springs on my 98 Formula, and I wanted as much clearance as I could get. My previous exhaust (stock headers, GMMG catback, I'm not sure about the Y) ended up with only 3 1/8" clearance based. The Y hung pretty low under the drivers seat. I'm hoping for great things with the ARH.

Those look familiar

Thanks guys. I'm pretty excited to get my engine put back together. Just waiting on the TR cam, and I'm ready to go.
1 3/4
Yeah, that's what I'm concerned with. Depending on how low the clearance is, I might have to pick up a new set of springs.

If you find those lowering springs to be too low I would look into the Strano springs. They will lower your car ~1.25 inches. I have these springs with my AR headers and catted y pipe is my ground clearance is pretty good.

I will. Along with pictures of the ground clearance. I've got pictures of the whole re-build process (which initially started as just replacing a bent pushrod and became a cam, intake, oil pump headers swap 
)
I'll also do sound clips with my GMMG.
