Default Hooker LTs

I want to put Hooker LTs on my 95 but im a little afraid that they will drag or scrap the ground since my car is lowered. How low do they usually hang under the car should I worry about them scraping or not does anyone have a pic I can use for reference.

I know that i had them on my 1997 z28 at stock height and i had to worry about it some...Like i would have to CREEP over speed bumps and stuff like that, some others w/more experience might chime in.

I have them, and happy with them, however, with my suspension/chassis mods if i take it easy on speed bums it doesn't scrape, but it is rubbing on to the K member, i really need to fix that coz its annoying the crap out of me.

I would have to say you would be much happier with Hooker headers than with Pacesetter headers. Bob

Thanks for the pics helped a lot i shouldnt have any clearance issues. 1 question did that 95 you guys have on there really only make 190 RWHP or was it a miss print I have never seen numbers that low for stock. I must just be lucky with mine im running a 13.4 to 13.5 on a good night with the mods in my list.

Hey thanks for the comparrison pic ya i think I should be ok maybe a little slow on steep driveways and speed bumps but I already do that since the lip kit hangs lower than the car height so I will probably be good so did you have any problems with the install.

ive got hooker LTs on my 95 and i never have to worry about scraping the headers.. the y-pipe is what hangs down the most for me (hooker 3" Y) and even then my skid plate is the one that takes the hits when i make a mistake going over a bump or something.
