Long Tube Headers: Which Hang the Lowest?
I know there was a discussion recently (can't find it) on this same question. What I'd like to see is some photos that clearly show installed headers of various brands (esp LG, FLP, Stainless Works) and how low they hang under the car. Anyone care to share?

I've helped in the installation of my FLP's and a friend's LGM's and, of those two, his LGM's hung noticeably lower than my FLP's.
The new Stainless Works system another friend has hugs the tunnel the closest I've seen and is a very clean looking system. :yesnod:

I know the SWs don't hang down far at all because I have yet to have them touch the ground, even when I am driving over speed bumps. My car is extremely low too.
My TTS headers, when I had them on, would scrape the ground the odd time I had to drive over a speedbump but they weren't too bad either.
With a stock height C5, I doubt you have to worry about ground clearance on any of the headers out there.

The new PRO LT from LGM does not hang but a 1/2 lower than the framerails.
I run a 5 point harness, and the bolts that run through the floorboard hang lower that the LTs :yesnod:
Ill snap a picture later on today.
