Sure they will clear, but make sure that there are no speed bumps or anything of that nature on your route You might wany to consider some shorties or mid-lengths. Good luck.

I've got the same springs and Jet-Hot LTs with a hooker y-pipe tucked up against the floorboard. I've got roughly 2 inches of ground clearance drivers side, 2.5 passenger side.


Price you pay

Stay away from speedbumps

I have Hooker longtubes and the Sportlines. I scrape the custom y-pipe when pulling out of my driveway, never scraped the headers though. I'm very happy with my set-up. Pictures are in my signature.

With my Sportlines I had 2 1/8th inchs of clearance. Second time i hit the header flange running down the hi-way I raised the car back up

are the LT's worth it over a mid length or a shortie??? cuz i know the hookers LT's 1 3/4 primaries and so are the SLP shorties
one more thing, if i plan on eliminating my cats (i live in a no emissions state) can i use headers from a 94-95 car?? they tend to be cheaper.

IMO Long Tubes are worth it. But people bicker.

Hmmm....

IMHO for every day street duty they are not worth it. The SLP headers I took off my car we put on my Wifes car. Not one problem in 50K miles of service now.

My Hookers are always doing some thing to **** me off
