Default LT headers

Considering long tube headers on a 2004 CE coupe. It is lowered on stock bolts. Sometimes I regret the lowering since you have to closely watch going over speed bumps and entering certain types of driveways.

Will LT headers add to the problem ? Do they hang lower than the rest of the underside ? Thinking of either Kooks or LG headers.

Thanks for your comments.

Depending on which you go with, I went with TSP's and hang about .5-3/4" lower. It can be a pain going around speed bumps. But the sound is SOOO worth it.

I am lower ~3" on coilovers and have NO issues with longtubes, they tuck up in the tunnel VERY nicely so I do not have any issues. Being so low I avoid speed bumps all together and angle inclines/declines.

I'm lowered on stock bolts with KOOKs and have no issues at all. They are tucked under nicely

I had LGM headers on my lowered 04. They do hang down just a little. I have a set for sale, the pics show a scrape I got going over a speed bump.

These are a prototype longtube/3" catted X set-up. The tuck of the system is amazing and you can see how low I am in the following pictures (lower than completely removing front bolts just for words) and I haven't had a single issue yet Keep an eye out on a GP from JWMotoring on these!
