HOOKER SCOMP LT HEADERS clearance issues?


Are there any problems with installing above headers. as far as
clearance goes (hanging down?)etc. and/or others problems I should be
aware of installing these on my 95 Z28 LT1 A4.








95Z28LT1A4: MSD, Racetronics, full race suspension, 58mm TB, 3:83 RP
Red with Black Ttop, etc....too much to list.

Always heard the Hookers tend to kill ground clearance.

The flange that connects the collector to the y-pipe can hurt your ground clearance. That is an advantage that the Pacesetters have as they are a slip-fit style and do not use flanges to connect the collectors to the y-pipe.

I had my exhaust shop cut the flanges off my hooker super comps and make them a slip fit lol....made a HUGE difference.

I've never ran into troubles with ground clearance. Just drive cautiously and be aware of steep inclines and speed bumps. They do run a little tight to the brake lines and the drivers side is a little tough with the y-pipe but other than that the clearance is fine.

I just recentley installed the SCOMP's and they fit great. I don't have any clearence issues whats so ever. The only thing that compromises my clerance is the two mufflers sitting in front of the lousy 10 bolt.

If your motor mounts are shot you may run into some issues but mine were fine

I have the Jet Hot LT's, which are basically the same headers, and I haven't had any clearence issues at all. Not hitting the floor board or touching the ground.
