full leanght header ground clearance

bosco · 01-26-2002, 12:18 PM

Ive been wanting full length headers for a long time. Ive been looking at a set of BBK ceramic coated full lengths. My main concern is ground clearance. I have a set of eibach sportline springs waiting to be installed later this week. Right now, i have stock spring that have been cut pretty low, probably a 2 inch drop, with bbk shorties and o/r h-pipe, it doesnt scrape that bad suprisinly, but dont long tube headers hang down lower, will i have a big problem with ground clearance? anyone else have a similar combo?

I have the BBK longtubes and they tuck up pretty tight underneath the car. I don't think you'll have a problem with them any more than the stock H-pipe.

DITTO with MAC long-tubes - tucks nicely under the car. Biggest problem you'll have with long-tubes is installing them.. Requires some patience!

I will be adding my MAC 1-5/8" full length ceramic coated ones soon.
