Long tubes for lowered Vettes?
I've heard that some headers don't tuck up nicely and may actually take a hit on a lowered C5. If there are long tubes that ride low, which brands tuck up nice and tight?

I think Dynatechs took up pretty nicely. That's what EnglandGreen has and his car is as low a Vette as you'll find.
Other than that, I can tell you from past experience that the Kooks hang fairly low. I never had any problems but I was only lowered on stock bolts.

My Dynatechs tuck up well. I can still drag the collector over BIG speed bumps if I can't take them at an angle. My car is dropped all the way on stock bolts and w/ Bilsteins so it sits pretty low.

My LG Streets are the same height as the stock setup, and I'm running hi-flow cats.

im on no front bolts and longer rears and can tell you that my dynatechs drag on big dips in the road and especialy on speed bumps. I will be raising the car back up this summer because it is too low
