Default ground clearance with Kook headers?

Hey guys i have a 02 ws6 trans am with Slp headers. I am going to change them to kooks 1 7/8" headers over the winter when i put my stroker motor in. I was just wondering how the ground clearnace on those kook headers are because the slp headers have i think the worst ground clearance out there, so i was just wondering how the kooks compare. Thanks.
Jon

Anything clears better than SLP's. I did an SLP to QTP swap and gained decent clearance at the collectors.

I have the Kooks with Eibach pro kit springs (1" drop). The headers clear great but I have scraped the y-pipe a couple times going over speed bumps. I would recommend these headers over any other. The install is a breeze too.

the clearance on the Kooks is outstanding. I have yet to even scrape anything on my Y pipe, even speed bumps. You shouldnt have any problems with them.
