Installed a set of Dynatech SuperMAXX headers on a friends car last summer. They are stainless steel and the fitment was very good. The only thing we had to remove was the oil filter to get the driver side header in. He isn't lowered so I can't answer that question. However, I am lowered with BMR springs which lowered me a little over an inch and have the FLP headers which are basically the same design. I only scrape the y-pipe every now and then on tall speed bumps.

well, i have the prokit and the dynatechs and i scrap the y-pipe and a bit of the cats on high bumps. I will be adjusting the ride height soon, but i am a vert. so my drop is probably more....

Also, they are stainless steel and a great fit. No problems and the instructions are very detailed..no worries man, you'll like them!!!!

I have the stainless Dynatech LT's and they fit great. And I didn't have to remove the oil filter to install. Maybe because the heads were off at the time...
I've compared the clearance with other systems and the Dynatech's are probably the best. But I think the 2.5" y-pipe vs. 3" is the real reason the clearance is so good.

BlaqSS.....with the Corsa, if you run without cats 9 times out of 10 you are going to pick up some rasp in your exhaust note. Most noticeable in the 2000-3000rpm range. If you run cats, you will have just a hint of rasp to no rasp at all. An alternative would be to weld in a bullet muffler into the I-pipe of your Corsa to minimize the rasp if you want to run without cats.

I have the SLP Dual/Dual from the factory. I have the cats that came with the Dynatech's. The sound is incredible although quite tame. If I were to describe it...very sports car sounding.

Over the years I've noticed that every car that I put headers on went from a mellow sound (manifolds) to a more punchier sound regardless of the rest of the exhaust.
