what headers can I put on a lowered car? My car is lowered with a prokit and I was wondering what headers I could put on and still drive the car. I have SLPs larger ypipe so clearance is already a issue. I want to keep cats because I couldn't handle the GMMG without them. Some pics of my car are below to give you a idea ho low were talkin here. I already know that I cant even look at SLPs header because they hang to low so say your time.
P.S. this is not my daily drive so that will help some
thanks Bill

I have QTP LT's on my lowered TA. I also have the Eibach ProKit. With my custom oval Y-pipe my lowest clearance point on the entire system is 3 1/4 inches. The lowest header clearance spot is about 3 1/2 inches.

Most headers other than SLP's tuck up pretty well, the problem is the Y-pipe more specifically the drivers side hanging down pretty low, I'm in the same boat , I need headers but I'm lowered a good 1.5" , the options are looking kind of bleak.That includes using Mac's.
Check out Kooks. There headers tuck up nicely - same as the QTPs, but their ypipe is flattened a little bit on the drivers side - not like the stock one, but just a bit so there is clearance.
I've had FLP's on my T/A with Eibach Pro, and they cleared OK, kept scraping the ring connectors on the y-pipe more than anything. I now have Stainless Works headers, and the clearance is even better. Check them out, price is great and fitment is awesome.

I can tell you from personal experience that the SLP LTs suck for ground clearance...I scrape everywhere. I have the Bilstein susp. option on my SS, so I'm lowered about an inch...these damn things scrape everywhere. I used to defend them, but after the scraping and poor performance, I'm changing my tune. I'm gonna change to kooks.
