The ones with clearance problems are going to be the SLPs, my pacesetters tuck up really nice, in fact the SFCs are lower than the header collector/y pipe
Sorry no pics since it's dark outside

My Pacesetters don't hang low at all. They tuck up better than alot of headers do. The lowest point on my car is the TSP ORY. I occasionally drag the stupid U-bolt clamps the Y came with I need to get some more bandclamps.

My QTP's tuck up really well, but I have to work out the damn K-member problem. My CATS are what hang low.

I hope you don't plan on running CATS or a large diameter pipe. Because quite frankly I don't see that fitting.

The pacesetter Y is crushed in a few places to allow for more clearance on the drivers side, and could probably be bent up for more clearance on the passengers side.

Remember my car is a formula so it doesnt have the ground effects of a Trans Am.








Yes I know the car is filthy

yea just a bit, but you can fudge the y-pipe for more clearance, I'm not sure you'll get the clearance you want out of longtubes.

FWIW the Driveshaft safety loop is the lowest point on my car. and that thing hangs probably 2 1/2 - 3" lower than the tunnel brace it replaces.
