Re: longtube header/ best ground clearance?

i dont have 1300$ to spend on headers! damn i wish! what about pacesetter longtubes they are on sale now for 259.99 and then do i have to buy y-pipe? and if so should i get the drag style so i can get rid of a.i.r and other stuff? i dont have emmissions here!

Dynatech makes the flp lt's, i have a set of the jet hot coated dynatech's w/ 3" collectors and a true dual x-pipe to 18" dynamax bullets w/ turndowns and my GC isn't too bad.

Re: longtube header/ best ground clearance?

As long as your car hasn't been lowered, any LT's will give you decent clearance. It's only when your car is lowered, that you start running into clearance issues.

Re: longtube header/ best ground clearance?

I'm curious about this as well maybe we can get some guys to take some pics and/or measurements (w/ stock suss.) of their flp's, jethots, tpis's and pacesetters. To compare.

Re: longtube header/ best ground clearance?

Its usually the Y-pipe that doesn't clear very well, not the long tubes themselves...

My TPiS long tubes hug perfectly and have great clearance...my custom 3" Y-pipe is another story...

Re: longtube header/ best ground clearance?

Pacesetters give ALOT of clearance ... Every time i come in and out of my driveway ( VERY VERY STEEP ) my front air dam thingy under the car hits ( barely ) my Pacesetters have at least 2 inches of clearnce at this same spot ... On level, with a non lowered car, I have probly 5 to 6 inches of clearance ...


I can measure tommorow if you want, No idea on a Y pipe though since im open headers till I figure out a way to make the Y fit that I have.
