Best header ground clearance

Can anyone tell me if there is a LT header that will provide decent ground clearance on a lowered car? I am about to install my 383 and want to go to a different header. I plan on having true duals made in conjunction with my new headers. IS the ASM mid length header my best bet?

I have the RK Sport headers, which are about the same as AS&M headers. No clearance issues with my pro kit lowered car. Judging from how much the Hooker LT's hang down, I wouldn't even consider LT's on a lowerd car. I have heard that the FLP's, or Dynatechs offer a little more clearance, but have no experience with them.

Coincidentaly, my headers are for sale email me if you are interested in them, or just wanna stop by to check em out.

I lost zero ground clearance with the AZ's, and it's said that they will easily support 700+ hp. FLP's are supposed to be up there, but personally I like the AZ's.

I think FLP's are good LT's if you're looking for ground clearance--but I've heard they have poor customer service and some people complain about them banging against the floor board.

Mine is lowered from the factory with the Bilsteins and my AS&M's fit up underneath very nicely. I do have a small dent in the Y pipe as it goes behind the crossmember, but it is not bad at all.

Here's a shot of my ground clearance with FLP's, my car isn't lowered (yet). I haven't had any problems with them scraping.
