header ground clearance
header ground clearance Gotta be stainless. Want to know how well they tuck and the fitment of these went. what kinda ground clearance you got out of them. maybe a measurement of of how much ya got with the headers you have. These are the ones that i have been researching and have done many searches on this but havnt really found much of anything. Would be appreciated with anything you can right. even if your lowered you can add your ground clearance now to what the drop springs are rated at and give me an estimate. Any other headers ya got an opinion on go ahead and let it out. Stainless only though plz.

I have QTP's, so that's the only header I can give you measurements on. I'm on stock ride height. Here's my collectors vs. a soda can:
Plenty of room for me. I don't know how great it would be if your car was lowered, but I have no issues.

I really think using an object below the vehicle is silly to show ground clearance, because it's relative to that vehicle. The stacked factory build tolerances as well as suspension changes just don't make it legitimate test for me. How close it is to the ground will change, but how close it is to the floorpan or how far below the oilpan, rocker panels, etc might be a better test.
With that said, I've only had Grotyohann's and ARH's, and the ARH's have much better ground clearance. I vote ARH because I don't have experience with the other brands.

This is why many people use cans as a basis for comparison.
My intended point was that the amount of ground clearance can vary. Some F-bodies look like 4x4's from the factory, others don't. Those that have more clearance from the factory, for whatever reason, would show more clearance for the can. So could tire sidewall height, etc.
[QUOTE=JimMueller;8947620]Right, because nobody comments about how some stock vehicles have the 4x4 look and others don't, and they all came with the same suspension options ... thus they all must be the same ride height. 
This wasn't specifically directed at the poster, just something which has always irked me. I would merely suggest providing another numerical height reference (fender height or rocker panel height for instance) in addition to the photo. That's all.[/QUOTE
You are right. I should take a mesurement now to see if I get sag in the coming years. I have always used fender height, Will do tommrrow. Right after the drop I beieve I measured 26.5"
