Any Headers that dont screw with ground clearance?

I want to let my baby breathe better but dont want to have to deal with exhaust leaks in the future. Are there any headers that dont reduce ground clearance?

My stainlessworks headers tuck up nicely. Full length longtubes too.

MAC, but even then the round instead of flat pipe of the Y messes with clearance.

QTPs! The best ground clearance. Stainless steel and gain the most out of any other header for an F Body period! The HVC Header rocks!

Ya, and for the price difference between them and some less expensive headers you could have a cammed eigine.

And you can replace those rusty headers for a quality header in less than 6 months. Do it right the first time!

Re: Any Headers that dont screw with ground clearance?

My Macs are well over a year old and have very minimal rust, and the car is driven daily. My 70 SS had the same headers on it for 12 years. They don't rust out that fast.

Besides, how many people keep their car over 2-3 years anymore anyway? Something new comes along and they get rid of it.

Then you can also look at having a 380-400 whp car for the same cash that your option would cost while only producing 315-350 hp (depending on mods). Not everyone has the disposable income to spend the same amount as a set of ported heads on a pair of headers.

My Pacesetters give great clearance. Unless you get SLP's the headers won't be the problem, a 3" Y with cats and round instead of crushed will hang lower on the driver's side than the headers.
