Default Header Question

Well I have been searching and could not find anything so figured I would just ask...

Do they make a Mid Length Header for the C5?? On my 02 T/A I had Mac Mids on the 346 and loved them.. When I did my 383 I went to BBK LT's.. Just wonderring if they make a Mid Length for the Vettes?

I sometimes scrape my LT's on my T/A and my Vette is alot lower then my T/A so do you guys scrape with your LT's?? I live in NJ so the roads are beatup and there are speed bumps everywere..

I've had LG longtubes w/3" LG X pipe since just about when the car was brand new. (03 Z06)

My cars ride height is set low on coil overs.
No problems with any thing rubbing/dragging.
They are tucked up under the car real well.

Makes great HP too.
Mustang Dyno right at 390 RWHP.

Slow V6, To bottom out our headers you'd have to do a 20ft "Dukes of Hazzard" cliff jump. They are long tubes, are all 304 S/S and 100% made in the US. There's literally thousands of C5's racing, cruising or looking pretty in a garage. Doing a quick search on this forum will reveal a wealth of information. If you need to hear it from me directly please feel free to call and I'll go over all the details. Thanks.

XS Power long tubes fit great. I've never scraped them on anything. I'm very happy with them.

They don't hit because they're total Chinese knock-offs of our headers. Gotta give them credit for one thing, they did pick the best system to copy. Glad you like them.

AR Headers are an excellent product. I did a lot of research before I bought. I wish I could have bought AR's. I just honestly couldn't spend $1500 on headers. I saved a long time to buy what I got.
