Not sure about other LT headers but with the SLP LT's you need to use there y-pipe, before you buy the muffex y make sure it will work with what ever headers you go with first. As for ground clearence in all likely hood you will have some clearence problems going overspeed bumps, steep driveways, etc......

I am not lowered at all, but I still scrape my aftermarket y-pipe on speed bumps, steep inclines, and quick dips in the road... I will not lower this car now that I have that y-pipe, it would hit everything.

i have cutout, which probably sits 3 inches off of the ground. i only scrape when a passenger is in the car and we go over a speed bump. my car is lowered ~1.5".
