Slammed 01 Formula: Need Headers That Won't Scrape!
The problem is that every LS1 system has to route under the driver side across the frame rail
I'd suggest getting some Mac mids (there was a set in the TX classifieds w/no y-pipe a few weeks ago) and have a custom y-pipe built that routes like the 93-95 LT1s did - behind the k-member, merge under the passenger side hump, and 'S' pipe to the trans tunnel into the I-pipe. My 93's is ran this way and the lowest part of the exhaust is still an inch above the fender tabs

so many different opinions I got a headache just thinking about it. Just scared I'm gonna hit a bump on the freeway and break/bend them bad bad, I need them to be tucked in just like the stock headers
With a jack and a short section of some thick wall metal pipe(about 3" dia.) you can make an additional 1/4" (at least) of exhaust clearance on the driver side frame rail. If you're wiling to cut and weld, even more.
FYI, the lowest part of my BBK ORY-pipe is 3" from the ground and I'm lowered.
