Question Best headers for a lowered car?

What are some good hearders for a lowered car? I have a '98 Z and lowered it about 1½ inches. I don't want get some thing that will rub on the road when I'm driving.

See the sig for all my mods. I have also installed a '98 SS exhaust on my car. I plan on doing a cut out soon.

The only LT headers for a lowered car are FLP's. They tuck up better than any other LT out there.

For ground clearance and performance, I think the Bassani's would be the best choice IMHO. If you're only looking at LT's, the FLP's would be the one to get.

I went to Bassani.com, and it seems all they have for '98 Z's are cat-backs. I couldn't find any headers there.
<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Bassani Xhaust offers Stainless Steel, Aft-Cat Exhaust Systems in three performance levels...'ST' Series, 'SC' Series and 'R' Line. Each level is identical in configuration, quality and fit, but features modified components enabling the owner to select the right application for their driving purposes.</font>


......I'm just looking for the best gain with any header that will fit a lowered car. It doesn't have to be a LT header, just one that will fit and give me the best Hp.

You're talking FLP's then. Thunder racing sells the mids.
