Headers mid or long lt1
I had long tubes in one of my camaro's that wa lowered and they scraped on inclines do long tubes scraped ever with stock suspension in like a 1995 camaro?
Would you do long tubes or mid? I have a 383 with a lt4 hot cam heads and intake would mids flow enough? Even with a 150 shot?

Just curious as to why you prefer mids for a street car?

I went with the kyb agx 8-way adjustable shocks on stock springs. The shocks dropped the car 3/4" which gives the car a bit of a lowered stance, but still maintains good ground clearance. Matter of fact kyb does not reccomend running lowering springs with these shocks. I kind of looked at it as a best of both worlds solution. My Lt's have never scraped anything or come close on this setup.

Definitive proof LT's are better than Mid-tubes
Red = previous setup with AS&M mid-tube headers & 30# injectors
Blue = current setp with LPP long tube headers & 37# injectors
Only difference in the above setups were headers. Mid-tubes work nearly as well as LT's at high RPMS but just plain suck in the torque department down low. I was blown away by how much more low end grunt I had when going to LT's. My LT's have NEVER scraped at stock worn spring height.

I've used all 3, shorties, mids, and LT. LT are the best. I never had ground clerance issues since the car was never lowered and it was a 383 LT1. I didnt mind shorties because they are an easier install until you get the Y pipe portion.
I hated Mids since they didnt increase ease of working in the engine bay, and the collector is in a crappy place. the only Mid I know of that has a 1-3/4" primary was Arizona Speed and Marine Mids which horrible fitment issues and bolt access.
I did fine with Jet Hot LT headers.
