i have read that SLP are what you should stay away from if you are lowered or planing on it

My car is not lowered yet but i plan on doing that soon. I have a set of QTPs and they tuck up there very well

My FLPs tuck really well. I run a pro kit and a friend of mine runs FLPs with a Sportline kit. Neither of us have any real problems. Sure there is an occasional scrape here and there but nothing too bad.
And yes, DO NOT GET SLPS if you are concerned with clearance. Friend of mine has them, they hang WAY low

The Kooks headers on my old car tucked up very well. The cated Y-pipe hit the floor board though, it need to be adjusted big time.

The Hooker headers tuck up pretty good on my friend's WS6, it is lowered in the front. It's the Y-pipe (custom) that scrapes.

The SLP headers on my other friend's SS, that is stock height, hang way low and scape on anything if not taken on at an angle.

My pacesetters tuck up very nicely, in fact its a little to close.... if you get their Y-pipe it'll most likely need to be adjusted.

I've had 2 sets of Kooks - straight 1 3/4, and stepped 1 3/4 to 1 7/8. Both with ORY, and I never scrape mine. You can't even see them under the car. The lowest part of my car is the SLP driveshaft loop and subframe connectors. My car is lowered with the BMR 1'' springs.
