silly question
I'm looking to buy some long tube headers on my 1999 c-5.Anyone ever have any trouble with those bottoming out going over a curb? We have a slanted driveway with a steep curb, i have to go at an angle to protect the front moulding from scraping,and thought i'd better check with you guys before i go out and buy some long tubes and have them scrape. I did'nt think there would be an issue,but thought i'd better check before i invest the $$'s. I appreciate any feedback.

You shouldn't have any problems. Most long tube headers tuck up to where they should not scrape.

The designs of the longtubes for our cars were very well thought out.
