Default Pacesetter header and ORY ground clearance

Well, my car sits like a silverado SS instead of a camaro SS. I have the pacesetter LT's and ORY being shipped now and I also want to lower the car 1-1.5". Anyone think I'll run into clearance issues? Also what are some good springs to look at? Thanks

If you got stock springs, you should be fine. I had a 2" drop and mine still had plenty of clearance. It's low, but not low enough to scrape over most speed bumps. I'm getting stock springs put back on my car because i'm soon to have True Duals and i need all the room i can get. You'll be fine if you have stock springs or evern a 1.5" lowering kit. Just be careful over bumps.

I'll post a pic of what mine looks like with a 2" drop and a 3" TSP Y-pipe.

NOTICE: In my picture it looks LOW AS CRAP BECAUSE i have a cutout on there right now. But as of now, it's the only picture i have. Just ignore the cutout itself and look where it's welded on the Y-pipe, then you can judge yourself.



It looks low but that's because i have a cutout. Just look beyond the cutout at the actualy Y-pipe.

You have plenty of room to go higher with your pipe. You can cut the rib right where that heat shield is and gain alot more room with no side effects.
