I have LG Long Tube Headers on my '02 ZO6, lowered using stock bolts. No problem.

It depends on what you drive over. They'll probably hang down 1/2" and catch some speed bumps.

Slammed with long tubes. 30,000 miles over 18 months = no worries.

Speed bumps can be a problem. I have scraped them a few times on the taller speed bumps. My LGs stick down about 1/2 inch.

Mine stick down an inch or so - only the cats. If you remove the cats, probably no scrapeage at all. As stated, speedbumps, high humps in the middle of the car, these I need to watch. Frame rails would probably be good, I may get them later...seems there are a couple speedbumps on my workday drive and yep gotta take 'em at .0000005 MPH or scrape will occur!

But man I love these headers. + Cam and I can't stay under 4K RPM, too much fun.
