With longtubes headers how much ground clearance will you lose if any and are u able to make over speed bumps and such?

 

Most people dont have problems until they lower their cars. As far as LT's it depends what kind you get. TPIS seem to be the best ground clearance with JetHot not far behind. Others are decent I beleive but dont worry about it until you get your car lowered.

Well, it isn't the header so much as the y pipe. My car is not lowered, but if it is one of those new, crappy, pointed speed bumps (read cheap) you have to go slow. The more rounded or better installed ones are no problem.

 

i have the eibach pro kit and long tubes but no Y-pipe its still kinda scary goin over them, i usually wait to hear the scrape but if you go over them on a slight angle an a nice slow roll over them its usually pretty safe, steep curbs are another story, i actually hadda get the end of my driveway redone so it was less of an incline an gradually progressed

 

It's good to know that the Pro kit & LT's can work together. I got a pro kit waiting to be installed and I just ordered a set of Jet Hot's................

 

lol hey dont quote me, each time over a bump is a new adventure, but i havent had any majoooooooor problems ::crossing fingers::

 

ya def. is an adventure coming and going out of driveways and going over speed bumps w/ LT's on a lowered car.

 

cant wait to see how close my LTs are gonna be w/ my sportline kit!!

 

Sportlines and LT's...............DAMN oyu should have some fun getting over those speed bumps..................

 

I ran LT's for 2 years, never had a problem scrapping using stock height springs. The Y-pipe is the only part that would get even close to scrapping.

is your car lowered if it is (a good amount) then get mid-lenght, it aint worth messing your stuff up

 

its not so much the headers its the y-pipe that is usually lower so even with mid-lengths the y-pipe is still that low

 

im havin the Y done custom so ill see if i cant do any thing to get it higher. for the amount i drive the SS im not worried but for some ones daily driver i would never do LT's on a sportline car!!

 

I have Sportlines on my car with the Hookers. I scrape my y-pipe once in a while, but it's never been anything major. I definitely would never go back to the stock ride height.

 

lol tht pic of your trans am is lowwwwwww, but man it looks fckin sweet i wouldnt go back either
