How is the ground clearance with these? I am trying to decide what of headers I want to go with. I had pacesetter headers on my old 95 lt1 z28 and they were fine. I want to keep this car mild and I may lower it a little bit so I was looking at midlength headers. Does anyone have pictures of these installed?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks. Do any aftermarket companies make an ORY for stock manifolds? Not sure if I would go that route but it would be a cheap and easy option. I just haven't decided if I want to do LT's again. I definitely don't look forward to the install.
I found some Y pipe options. Would you recommend the SLP one pr is the Borla one worth an extra 100$.

Gas mileage is good also. This is my DD and I don't have any crazy plans for it. In the future I might but I will have to have a DD first. For now I will do basic bolt on mods. Like a lid, ORY, catback, underdrive pulley and ported TB.
I am going to have it tuned by a local guy as well.

MACs are a great street header. I picked up 18rwhp through the factory cats welded in the MAC Y-pipe (MAC cats are junk). The ground clearance is very good and the install was super-easy. I eventually replaced them with Hooker LTs when I went heads/cam, but would buy another set, preferable lightly used, for a street car.

check the "dyno" section. there are lots of guys making power with MAC mid lengths. on a 450rwhp H/C/I car the difference between MAC mid lengths and high quality long tubes is about 18rwhp or so from what i can find.

i've got mac's on my lowered ta, they came on mine otherwise i prolly would have went with LT's.
They're definetely not junk and the only clearance issues i have with is on tall speed bumps.
