Default TSP 1 1/8 Headers Clearance

I'm considering purchasing the TSP 1 7/8 inch headers and Y-pipe, however my 2002 z28 was lowered 1 and 1/2 inches, and I want to make sure I won't be scraping the ground. Does anyone else have a lowered Z28 with these headers, or will I need to raise it up some?

I have a lowered ws6 and rarely have problems. The parts that'll get you is high speed bumps. Or random things that are on the road.
I've had mine for I think 3 years this summer and only have minor scratches on em.
Oh and I daily drive mine in Colorado. Not exactly a perfect place for ideal road conditions

Good question, and more good news also. I was wondering the exact same thing because I am picking mine up Saturday.

TSP fit great. The only header I know of with horrible dragging issues with SLP. I wouldnt use those again if I had to.
