Full length headers and ground clearence
The headers I have no stick down below my oil pan and scrap on stuff alot. I was wondering if there was a full length header without that issue readily available.

I am using the Hedman headers and only scrape on big speed bumps. But, I have also lowered the car quite a bit.

I have heddmans too and do not have a problem. If the headers are not coated and you find the end of the collector is handing the down you could make a cut through the collector closer to where the pipes come together, make this cut a little crooked and then rotate the two pieces until the end of the collector points higher up and in a better spot and reweld the collector back together.

My Hedman's are the lowest thing on the car and they do scrape, but my car is also lowered. I would think that if your car is not lowered, you will not have a problem. Even if it is lowered, tou just have to pay attention.

they are 1 5/8 tubes with 3" collector and do NOT drag any ground...
good as any, better than most....clear the rack and all other mods, no sweat....I use top with typical Moroso clips for spark wiring....

I have Dynomax Ceramacoat headers and have had no ground clearance problems. They fit over and under the z-bar for the clutch linkage and I had to dimple very slightly one tube because it was touching the z-bar. I don't think the adjustment was more than 1/16 inch so that may be unique to my car. For the money I think they are one of the best buys out there.
