May want to look at the Mac's or maybe the new Bassani headers. They look to have a "mid lengh" set up that would fit a little tighter to the car.

Jsears8 has a Eibach Pro Kit (I think thats a 1.5 inch drop) with 17x9.5 Chrome Vette wheels and he is running long tube TTS headers..... but I think he has gotten into some fights with some speed bumps and little critter running down the road--> (just for humor) You could probably run a long tube and be fine if you watch what you are doing. If I had the extra cash to spend on the $1200 peices right now I would definately have them! Check with Justin and he should be able to answer any questions you might have.
