SLP LTs on a lowered TA Does anyone have SLPs Long tubes on a lowered Trans Am? I want the SLPs but my 2002 ta is lowered with the eibach pro kit and I got the stock 16" wheels and I'm really worried that these things are gonna scrape all over the place! Please email me at joseph28104@yahoo.com with any helpful information!

Plus, those headers have to be dented to clear your steering or else they'll rub pretty bad.

I didn't have to dent my either. at least 1/2" to 3/4" clearance from the steering arm.
I agree they are low and will scrap even on a stock ride height. I have the most trouble at underground parking garages, but only when exiting.
I don't care what anyone says about the SLP headers--I like mine!

First off I love my SLP LT's my car is not lowered, and they occasionally drag on the speed bumps in parking lots ect, but I go over them easy anyways, and the comment made about having to dent them or whatever, is just ridiculous anyone that spends that kind of money on headers to smash them up is smoking crack 
SLP has an entire engineering staff that specifically designed those headers for that car, so lets not get ridiculous here I almost spilled my coffee 
now back on subject yes they occasionally drag at stock height so if your car is lowered, or you plan on lowering it I would not recommend the SLP LT's but there are other options out there for the lowered cars and Angus recommended a good choice with the pacesetters 
but the comment that SLP LT's suck because my friends neighbors dog had them and he heard that they sucked is just 
SLP LT's are one of the best headers available, if not the best, for LS1 powered vehicles wanting to retain stock height. 
now of course I am a little biased

i got the ceramic coated slps on my ws-6 and my **** is lowered.. a lot. I cant even go over speed bumps period. in my oppionion a header is a header so get which ever ones you can find a good deal on.

too me it doesnt look like the Headers are the problem......but the Y-pipe ....slp allows there Y-pipe to hang lower than he header merge collectors instead of tucking up ...SLP are great headers...however QTP and Kooks have it beat......and for the dude with FLP and dropped....i have never heard of that happening.....most people say FLP tucks up so much it bangs the floorboards. :/ oh well whatever im debating on QTPs or Kooks (both based on Grott headers) amazing flow and quality stainless steel....the Y-pipe is what im wondering about and the different merge collectors on the headers and the Y pipe merge collector...
