Default headers LT's or Mid's ?

well my car is lowered more than 1.5inches front and rear. Im worried that if I get LT's I will scrap, and bang them up. (since I already scrap with my factory exhaust).
I am putting in a 383 stroker as well

Will I get more ground clearance with Mid's than with LT's or do they not matter on clearance? And which header brand do you recomend to be good for the price?


heres a pic of my car, you can kinda get a visual of how low the car sits, but pics can be deceiving...

If your worried you can always get these at a low price , Although I am personally getting LT, I plan on lowering eventually. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMESE%3AIT

Go with the LTs.
My car is lowered however, I would always go Long tube over shorty or mid.

thanks for the info guys, I think I go with LTs. I was just worried about clearance, but some of you have cars even lower than mine, so I hope I wont have to many problems

are you guys still able to run y-pipes with your LT's?

you shouldnt have many problems. just watch driving around the dayton area since every road in that vicinity is speed bump ridden or just shitty altogether.

with a 383 Lts are the best bet.
