LT Headers and Ground Clearance
All,
Been looking into LT's lately....do any of these packages provide stock ground clearance? Any input for those with lowered cars is appreciated.

I have the TTS and they do not hang down below the frame, no clearance issues.

The Kooks tuck up nicely and I couldn't tell any differance from stock. You can also orient the ovaloid clamping rings with 3" bolts so you don't have one of the "points" going straight down. :cheers:

Re: LT Headers and Ground Clearance (PewterC5)
My FLPs fit nicely in the tunnel but the flange clamp protrudes about 1/2 in below floor pan. I have not lowered my coupe out of fear that the speed mountains at Costco will jam the header clamps even with rocker rails.

I have the Pro LG LT Off Road Header System. My C5 is not lowered. I never have any ground clearance problems.
Your welcome to look under my C5.
