Header to ground clearance Input Im trying to find out which headers if any has better ground clearance than the others.
From what I have seen of installed pictures they all appear to be very similar but it almost appears that the Pacesetter its slightly more slim where it is collected.
Anyone with lowered v1 and headers have any input?
help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ugh I hate when people say mines.. cut springs? Who does that.. if the headers are a problem don't use long tubes. I'd be surprised if they were an issue tho.. the headers are made to end up in the same spot as OE.. if you don't have the big primaries it should be fine..

I've banged my headers a couple times, but I sit pretty low on KW's. Stock supsension no header banging. I dd a 3/4 ton so I forget to slow down sometimes..... being able to roll over small stuff in the roads like smart cars and fiats is a plus.

I had to cut the cats and twist them outwards to buy myself an inch of clearance otherwise I was scraping all over the place. Love the B&B system otherwise but it's not a clean fit.

I have OBX headers with catted connectors and run H&R springs. I've only heard contact underneath once as I was creeping out of the emissions testing booth where old school rollers are still in the floor. Otherwise I crawl over speed bumps and avoid driveways with steep peaks.

Im getting coilovers soon and I go kinda overboard with my wheel fitment and how low I put my cars.
Im not planning on running cats so the thickness and girth
of those wont be an issue. BTW guys thanks for the help.

Here is a pic of my exhaust when I was on H&R springs, I have pacesetters and mangnaflow cat back, my headers haven't scraped as much as my exhaust has but it they have seen the asphalt a few times, enough to tear the DEI wrap off.. Unfortunately I don't have pics of the headers themselves at the moment.
