I have a 99 SS, all i have heard from rumor(so try to find out more for yourself) is that SLP LT's have clearence problems when the car is lowered, My SS is lowered and i'm probably going to go w/ Jet hots. I'll keep ya posted how it comes out if i do it soon enough.

My 02 Z is lowered and I have Hooker LT's-They tuck up perfect no clearance issues at all. Unless there's a steep driveway or something!!

My pacesetters have the most clearance of any header set that I've seen... they fit extremely well!

I've got the eibach sportlines lowering kit 2"-2 1/4" with Hooker LT's. Except for tall speed bumps and steep drives they clear just fine.
