Default Is it possible???

Is it possible to put on a set of long tube headers w/ a x-pipe leading into a catback system on a '01 z28 without losing ground clearance?

are you talking about having an x-pipe that goes into a dual in/dual out type muffler? because going into an x-pipe then back into a y-pipe that leads into a single in/dual out muffler would defeat the purpose of having an x-pipe.

bassani makes a true dual style catback with an x-pipe that exits the rear of the car otherwise texas speed makes a true dual system that dumps before the rear axle.

i believe the bassani will give you stock like ground clearance. a little modification will need to be made to fit them to longtubes

i was talking about pipes running from the headers into a x-pipe then into two single in in/single out mufflers (flowmaster on-chambers for example) then out the back.

Sounds like true duals over the axle. There's a lot of examples on here.

The only way you are going to save your ground clearance is 1) don't run any type of muffler, or 2) run a single dual-in dual-out muffler in the stock location. You could also fit a pair of bullets before the tailpipes, but that's hardly sound-deadening. Bassani uses a dual-in dual-out muffler, their dual system works very well. I ran it and gained tons of midrange power, right where I am most of the time in the rpm band.
